Reproducibility and Best Practices in Cell Biology

Reliable science starts with rigorous methods. This collection offers cell biologists practical, expert-driven guidance and best practices in the design, execution, and analysis of experiments, and the subsequent communication of their results to their peers. From guides to the acquisition of data using a variety of microscopy techniques to the quantitation and statistical analysis of this data in concert with rigorous reporting of methodologies, this collection aims to improve the reliability and reproducibility of studies produced by and for the cell biology community. Further articles in this series are planned and will be added to this collection when they are published.
