    • Analysis of reported reproducibility rates in preclinical studies.
    • Review of existing literature and expert discussions on scientific integrity.
    • Exploration of journal policies and their role in promoting reproducibility.

    Main Results:

    • Significant challenges exist in reproducing published preclinical research findings.
    • The problem of reproducibility impacts the reliability of scientific evidence.
    • Journals have a crucial role in implementing measures to improve reproducibility.

    Conclusions:

    • The low reproducibility rates indicate a critical issue in scientific research.
    • Addressing reproducibility is essential for maintaining scientific rigor and public trust.
    • Journal-led initiatives can significantly enhance the reliability of published scientific work.
