Nature Portfolio aims to enhance the reproducibility of published research through a structured reporting form. This form ensures consistency and transparency in reporting. Key points include:
1. **Statistics**: All statistical analyses must be clearly documented, including sample size, measurement methods, statistical tests, and assumptions. The full description of statistical parameters, effect sizes, and P values is required.
2. **Software and Code**: Information on the availability of computer code is mandatory.
3. **Data**: A data availability statement must be provided, detailing access codes, identifiers, and any restrictions on data use.
4. **Human Participants and Data**: Policies for studies involving human participants, their data, or biological material are outlined, including ethical oversight and reporting on sex, gender, and race.
5. **Field-Specific Reporting**: Different sections are provided for life sciences, behavioral & social sciences, and ecological, evolutionary & environmental sciences, each with specific disclosure requirements.
6. **Study Design**: Disclosures for sample size, data exclusions, replication, randomization, and blinding are required for all studies.
7. **Materials & Experimental Systems**: Authors must indicate if specific materials, systems, or methods are relevant to their study.
8. **Methods**: Detailed information on methods, including antibodies, cell lines, animals, and clinical data, is required.
9. **Antibodies, Animals, and Clinical Data**: Specific policies for animal research, clinical studies, and dual-use research of concern are outlined.
10. **Experiments of Concern**: Information on potentially harmful experiments is required.
11. **Plants**: Policies for seed stocks, novel plant genotypes, and authentication are provided.
12. **ChIP-seq**: Data deposition and methodology details are required.
13. **Flow Cytometry**: Specific requirements for plot labels, scales, and numerical values are outlined.
14. **Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)**: Experimental design, imaging parameters, and statistical modeling are detailed.
15. **Behavioral Performance Measures**: Details on behavioral performance measures and imaging types are provided.
