[Duraspace] Nevermind the Data, Where are the Protocols? | The Scholarly Kitchen

Reproducibility of published research results is increasingly coming into
question. Efforts from funding agencies and publishers are calling for more
and more transparency around research data, but so far, little attention
seems to have been paid to a crucial aspect of experimental
reproducibility: publication of detailed methodologies. A new NIH-led
effort seems a first step in correcting this oversight.

While access to research data is valuable for potential reuse and extension
of research results, much of the emphasis stated for data policies has been
