Preregistration: Preregistration (posting a time-stamped protocol before you start data collection) protects against questionable research practices like outcome switching or p-hacking. @denolmo.bsky.social's interactive workshop will teach you the basics. Preregister your next study with confidence

Add RRIDs to your paper so that readers and future you will always know what you used, even if catalog numbers change, the company adds similar products, or is sold to another supplier. The RRID portal also tells you whether your cell line is contaminated or from a patient who was misdiagnosed.

Tracey Weissgerber @tweissgerber.bsky.social · 25/02/2025
Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) are unique, persistent identifiers for key materials (antibodies, cell lines, model organisms, plasmids, software and tools - think DOIs for research supplies). Anita Bandrowski from @rrids.bsky.social will help you to look up or create RRIDs for your materials.

Quarto for reproducible manuscripts: Vladislav Nachev will share strategies for using Quarto to integrate computational methods, figure and tables into your manuscript. Apply what you've learned to your own research, or practice on an example project.

Reporting guidelines are required by journals everywhere. Following guidelines when you write improves your paper and saves time. Join @renebernard.bsky.social and I for an interactive workshop. Use reporting guidelines to improve you methods section, or planning guidelines to improve your design.

How to use shortcut citations responsibly: Researchers often cite another resource instead of fully describing their methods. I'll discuss the problems with this approach, outline 3 criteria that shortcut citations should meet, and discuss what to do if a resource doesn't meet these criteria.

Shortcut citations in the methods section: Frequency, problems, and strategies for responsible reuse
Methods sections often lack critical details needed to reproduce an experiment; the practice of citing previous papers instead of describing the methods in detail may contribute to this problem. An an...
