SfN's home for learning and discussion

Rigor and Reproducibility

SfN has partnered with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and members of the scientific community to develop resources to inform and empower neuroscientists at all career stages to enhance the rigor and reproducibility of their research.

Watch neuroscientists discuss the need to change the scientific culture to emphasize rigor.

These resources focus on the sociology of science, raising awareness around interpersonal factors that influence laboratory practices and professional activities.

Programming is organized around three priority topics:

Objectivity and scientific judgments.
Data collection, management, and sharing.
Scientific culture and incentives.

Participate in discussion of scientific rigor on the Neuronline Community.
