When research directly informs clinical care, transparency carries practical consequences. Rigorous documentation and open practices help findings stand up to scrutiny and support translation into practice. In our latest researcher Q&A, research scientist and biostatistician Alisha Bruton shares how she integrates open science into her workflow, navigates data sharing in collaborative research, and applies FAIR principles to help make research findable and reusable.

Reproducibility is central to conversations about research credibility—but what can large-scale studies actually tell us?
In our upcoming webinar on April 16, researchers from COS, the Institute for Replication, and META-REP compare three recent papers, including one from the recently-published SCORE effort. Panelists will discuss their findings, where the studies converge and differ, and broader insights on reproducibility, transparency, and credibility.

Research output is growing faster than the systems used to evaluate it. The Predicting Replicability Challenge invites teams to use automated approaches to predict whether research findings will hold up when replicated—testing whether these methods can help assess research claims at scale. In Round 2, all teams outperformed the baseline model—an improvement over Round 1.
Read about Round 2 results & how to participate in the final round, which launches April 22!
