research errors

Survey reveals some reassuring and troubling aspects of student data collection

Labs can drastically improve library quality and reproducibility, resolving challenges and sources of error at key steps with entry-level, easy-to-use automation platforms

Digitally handling data in a way that ensures its integrity is the basis for how labs enable productivity

Researchers drastically expose a problem that potentially affects many studies in experimental biomedicine

Leaders in academia have formalized a proposal to assemble an official advisory board to support ethical behavior in research institutions

Widely reported analysis that said much research couldn’t be reproduced is riddled with its own replication errors, researchers say.

Making a mistake here and there is the hallmark of human existence. None of us is perfect, and we can’t get everything right all the time.

Strategies for handling them the right way

An internal review has discovered that, over five years, a medicine lab at the University of Utah "recklessly" fiddled with data in 11 papers.
