An international consensus on core reproducibility items in research.

Area of Science:

• Scientific research methodology
• Open science principles
• Research integrity

Background:

• Reproducibility is a critical challenge in scientific research.
• Lack of standardized practices hinders the verification of research findings.
• A multidisciplinary consensus is needed to address these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a consensus-based list of core reproducibility items.
• To establish minimum requirements for transparent and reliable research.
• To promote a cultural shift towards enhanced research integrity.

Main Methods:

• Development of a consensus-based list by a multidisciplinary group.
• Identification of core expectations across research phases.
• Focus on planning, methods, data management, analysis, and dissemination.

Main Results:

• A defined set of core reproducibility items has been established.
• Minimum requirements cover the entire research lifecycle.
• The list serves as a tool to improve reproducibility.

Conclusions:

• Implementing these core reproducibility items can enhance the reliability of research methods and results.
• This framework supports a broader cultural shift towards transparent science.
• The consensus view provides actionable guidance for researchers.
