Reproducibility in science—or the lack thereof—has garnered much attention in the past few years. On March 1, 2016, Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) published a Perspective by Daniel Klionsky outlining the importance of scientific communities coming together to develop guidelines that could serve as “best practices” for their field (Klionsky, 2016 ). This Perspective was invited as a direct follow-up to one of several recommendations made by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) Data Reproducibility Task Force in their white paper on enhancing rigor in basic research (American Society for Cell Biology, 2015 ). Here we highlight some of the benefits of community-based standards and describe how MBoC and ASCB can assist other scientific communities in developing best practices for their specific fields. |
