Reproducibility is fundamental to credible science, but it requires more than good intentions. This practical and engaging masterclass helps research teams embed reproducible practices in experimental design, documentation, and data management. Combining training, tools, and internal review support, the session builds long-term rigour into day-to-day research.
This service is designed for lab-based teams looking to strengthen research quality, meet funder expectations, or support cultural change around scientific rigour. Typical clients include:
Principal investigators leading teams with complex experimental workflows
Core facilities generating or analysing data for external users
Research groups preparing for major funding bids requiring reproducibility plans
Institutions seeking to promote open, transparent science through internal training
Pre-Session Scoping: A short discovery call and pre-session questionnaire to understand your research focus, data flows, and current practices. This allows the session to be tailored to your environment and goals.
Format: Call + scoping survey + preparatory review
Live Training Workshop: A half-day interactive session designed around your needs, covering key reproducibility principles (e.g. blinding, version control, pre-registration), barriers to rigour, and domain-specific case studies. Tools and practices are discussed in context, ensuring relevance.
Format: Live session (online or on-site) with facilitation + discussion
Toolkit Distribution: Participants receive a custom resource pack with editable checklists, templates (e.g. protocol versioning guides, metadata standards), and further reading. These are designed for practical use across diverse team roles.
Format: PDF + editable files (Word/Excel/Markdown)
Self-Audit Framework: A guided process enables teams to assess their current practices, identify improvement areas, and prioritise next steps. This can support future funding applications, internal reviews, or lab QA initiatives.
Format: Step-by-step worksheet + optional follow-up review
Optional Add-ons: For teams seeking deeper impact, optional extensions include follow-up coaching, co-development of lab protocols, or facilitated internal reproducibility audits.
Format: Customisable – priced separately
Stronger awareness of reproducibility challenges and solutions within your team
Practical adoption of tools and practices that support rigour and transparency
Improved documentation and workflow consistency
Clear reproducibility narrative for use in funding bids, publications, and reports
