What are the Best Practices for Ensuring Reproducibility?
To ensure reproducibility in histology, researchers should adhere to the following best practices:
Documentation: Thoroughly document all procedures, including sample handling, staining protocols, and imaging settings. Replication: Perform experiments in triplicate or more to confirm findings. Open Data: Share raw data and protocols with the scientific community to allow independent verification. Peer Review: Subject research findings to peer review to identify potential sources of error and improve study design.
