Tracey Weissgerber @tweissgerber.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Preregistration: 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 100

Tracey Weissgerber @tweissgerber.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Add 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. 100
Tracey Weissgerber @tweissgerber.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Research 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. 100
Tracey Weissgerber @tweissgerber.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Quarto 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. 100
Tracey Weissgerber @tweissgerber.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Reporting guidelines are required by journals everywhere. Following guidelines when you write improves your paper and saves time.
