Reproducibility in biomedical research.

Reproducibility in biomedical research remains inconsistently implemented despite widespread awareness and policies, risking resource waste and patient safety.

• Why it matters: Ensuring reproducibility is crucial for trustworthy science, scientific progress, and public health, yet persistent barriers hinder the adoption of best practices in the field.
• What they did: The authors review the current landscape, efforts to harmonize terminology, and barriers to implementation, proposing a practical framework for more uniform reproducibility practices involving multiple stakeholders.
• The result: This framework aims to promote transparency, rigor, and credibility in biomedical research, supporting future directions to improve reproducibility across the research community.
