Details

Aimed largely at early career researchers, although scientists of all career levels are welcome, this workshop aims to introduce the newly formed International Union of Pharmacology Transparency & Reproducibility (T&R) committee and workshop a few aspects of T&R. The goals are bidirectional so that workshop facilitators will provide guidance to participants on behalf of IUPHAR, and facilitators will learn about the key issues from participants to feed back to IUPHAR. We will workshop methods/results reporting, under the transparency banner, and reagent/tool validation under the reproducibility banner. A major goal is to have dialogue on this important topic to collectively help us improve the quality of our science and outputs. Workshop format: Round table format, small groups 1. Brief introduction to the committee and workshop format/goals (~5 minutes) 2. Transparency - Reporting your methods and results (40 minutes)  Outlining the issues  Examples of efforts to address e.g. Materials, Design, Analysis Reporting framework  Discussion and tips for what you can do as a supervisor, author, editor or referee 3. Short comfort break (~5 minutes) 4. Reproducibility - Reagent/tool validation (40 minutes)  Outlining the issues  Examples of efforts to address e.g. pillars of antibody validation  Discussion and tips for what you can do as a supervisor, author, editor or referee Open forum for discussion of T&R opportunities and challenges (30 minutes)
