Overview
The objective of this activity is to try and find peer-reveiwed research that describes reproducibility or replication studies in the biomedical informatics and bioinformatics fields.
Instructions
PubMed is an online repository of over 34 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. It is a useful resource for researchers (and the public!) to identify peer-reviewed and trusted research on a given biomedical topic.
Go to the Advanced PubMed Query builder at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/advanced/ and search reproducibility or replication studies. Are you able to find them using that terminology?
Try This!
Certain papers may not mention the terms replication or reproducibility. Try these other terms to see if you get different or additional results:
replication study
reproducibility study
replication analysis
independent replication
independent validation
validation study
reanalysis
computational reanalysis
independent reanalysis
ripeline replication
external validation
You can narrow your search to only "omics" studies by adding the following text to your query:
AND (bioinformatics OR "computational biology" OR genomics OR transcriptomics)
Are you able to reliably identify any studies of replication or reproducibility? How frequently do they occur? Do any journals appear to re-occur as publication targets?
