Nature Reviews Drug DiscoveryBelieve it or not: how much can we rely on published data on potential drug targets?
1,924 Citations2011Florian Prinz, Thomas Schlange +1 more
It is indicated that the limitations of the predictivity of disease models and also that the validity of the targets being investigated is frequently questionable, which is a crucial issue to address if success rates in clinical trials are to be improved.
NatureA call for transparent reporting to optimize the predictive value of preclinical research
1,213 Citations2012Story C. Landis, Susan Amara +34 more
The main workshop recommendation is that at a minimum studies should report on sample-size estimation, whether and how animals were randomized, whether investigators were blind to the treatment, and the handling of data.
JAMAUse of the CONSORT Statement and Quality of Reports of Randomized Trials
1,018 Citations2001David Moher, Alison Jones +2 more
Use of the Consolidated Standards for Reporting of Trials (CONSORT) statement is associated with improvements in the quality of reports of RCTs.

495 Citations2012Joshua Carp
Significant gaps in methods reporting among fMRI studies are documented, and improved methodological descriptions in research reports would yield significant benefits for the field.

297 Citations2014Marcia McNutt
Authors will indicate whether there was a pre-experimental plan for data handling, whether they conducted a sample size estimation to ensure a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, whether samples were treated randomly, and whether the experimenter was blind to the conduct of the experiment.
PeerJOn the reproducibility of science: unique identification of research resources in the biomedical literature
283 Citations2013Nicole Vasilevsky, Matthew Brush +5 more
An experiment to ascertain the “identifiability” of research resources in the biomedical literature and provides recommendations to authors, reviewers, journal editors, vendors, and publishers show that identifiability is a serious problem for reproducibility.
ScienceChanging Incentives to Publish
240 Citations2011Chiara Franzoni, Giuseppe Scellato +1 more
The decline in the relative performance of the United States relates to increased international competition engendered by newly adopted incentives that have crowded out some work by U.S. authors.
