The grubby details of reproducing research

This week in Nature, Richard van Noorden writes of some preliminary findings of the Reproducibility Initiative:  Cancer Biology, presented at a conference in Brazil.  It is an interesting report, though I feel somewhat uncomfortable about the meta-analysis type statistical significance measure that they plan to calculate.  Nonetheless, the effort seems a worthy one, and DTLR awaits the final results.
