The document discusses the critical issue of data reproducibility in preclinical biomedical research, highlighting its significant impact on research credibility and financial costs, estimated at $28 billion annually. It emphasizes the need for the research community to address reproducibility challenges to avoid wasting resources and exposing patients to ineffective treatments. The panel discusses potential future requirements for proving reproducibility in order to secure publication and funding.

- 3. Why is Reproducibility Currently Hitting The Headlines ?
- 4. ‘The push to replicate findings could shelve promising research and unfairly damage the reputations of careful, meticulous scientists’ Mina Bissell 2013 ‘the challenge of increasing reproducibility and addressing the costs associated with the lack of reproducibility in life science research is simply too important and costly to ignore’. Freedman 2015 ‘the guidelines could make preparing, submitting and reviewing research papers more burdensome, and that the checklists and other requirements imposed by journals could make it more difficult to recruit high-quality peer reviewers’ Haywood 2015 ‘The recent evidence showing the irre- producibility of significant numbers of biomedical-research publications demands immediate and substantive action’ Collins & Tabak 2015 ‘Our observations indicate that literature data on potential drug targets should be viewed with caution’ Prinz et al 2014 The Debate
- 5. Potential Implications of Non Reproducibility Globally • Estimated $28bn wasted per year (50% of US Pre-Clinical spend) due to reproducibility issues • Reduction in; – products – Patient benefit – Return on Investment (ROI) – Innovation • Exposure of patients to ineffective or dangerous new drugs For The Research Community Proof of reproducibility may soon be a requirement for • Publication • Securing funding & Investment
