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. -- |
