[Msi-workgroups-board] MIBBI published in August's Nature Biotechnology

[Susanna-Assunta S. <sa...@eb...>]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to inform you that the paper describing the Minimum
Information for Biological and Biomedical Investigations (MIBBI) project
-- http://www.mibbi.org/ -- has been published this month in Nature
Biotechnology. This represents a significant step towards a comprehensive
set complementary reporting guidelines for the biosciences; both by
describing our work to date, and by acting as a beacon for new
participants.

A PDF of the paper is freely-available for download:
http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v26/n8/pdf/nbt.1411.pdf

This paper:
1. Describes the foundational work performed by the ever-growing list of
participants in this project.
2. Provides analysis of the various MI specifications registered at the
site (scope, conflicts, etc.), including the MSI's CIMR
3. Addresses the view of funders and publishers on the enforcement of
consensual reporting guidelines.
4. Outlines our plans for future work, which all are strongly encouraged
to monitor, and in which all are invited to participate.

 Any questions can be directed to:
 Chris Taylor
 Susanna-Assunta Sansone
 Dawn Field

 Yours Sincerely,

 Susanna, Chris and Dawn, on behalf of all authors.
