Reporting research antibody use: how to increase experimental reproducibility
Research antibodies are used in a wide range of bioscience disciplines, yet it is common to hear dissatisfaction amongst researchers with respect to their quality. Although blame is often attributed to the manufacturers, scientists are not doing all they can to help themselves. One example of this is in the reporting of research antibody use. Publications routinely lack key details, including t...
متن کاملDo simple screening statistical tools help to detect reporting bias?
BACKGROUND As a result of reporting bias, or frauds, false or misunderstood findings may represent the majority of published research claims. This article provides simple methods that might help to appraise the quality of the reporting of randomized, controlled trials (RCT). METHODS This evaluation roadmap proposed herein relies on four steps: evaluation of the distribution of the reported va...
متن کاملExplanations make inconsistencies harder to detect
What role do explanations play in reasoning about inconsistencies? We postulate that when people create explanations, they use them to resolve conflicting information. This hypothesis predicts that inconsistencies should be harder to detect once individuals have in mind an explanation of the inconsistency. We report four experiments that tested this prediction. Experiments 1a and 1b corroborate...
متن کاملHow We Detect Logical Inconsistencies
How do individuals detect inconsistencies? According to the theory described in this article, they search for a possibility represented in a mental model, in which each proposition in a description is true. If they find such a possibility, the description is consistent; otherwise, it is inconsistent. Evidence corroborates the theory. The evaluation of consistency is easy when the first possibil...
متن کاملAutomatically Detecting Inconsistencies in Program Specifications
A verification system relies on a programmer writing mathematically precise descriptions of code. A specification that describes the behavior of an operation and a loop invariant for iterative code are examples of such mathematical formalizations. Due to human errors, logical defects may be introduced into these mathematical constructs. Techniques to detect certain logical errors in program spe...
