ResumoIn April 2013, Nature announced new editorial measures to improve the consistency, transparency and quality of reporting in life sciences articles 1 .These measures, which are now implemented in all of our sister life sciences journals, include removing length restrictions in the methods section to ensure key methodological details are reported, examining statistics more closely and encouraging deposition of data in public repositories.Key to this initiative is a checklist 2 , which serves to prompt authors to disclose in their submissions all the information necessary for others to reproduce the work, and to guide referees to consider these issues during peer review.Importantly, many journals, including ours, are now united in this drive to improve reproducibility 3 .
