Webinars
Data Integrity Webinar
Journal article retractions are increasing, often due to accidental or intentional duplication or manipulation of western blot images. Because of this, western blot data are now under heightened scrutiny from journals, reviewers, and watchdog groups, increasing the risk that your results could be questioned, or that your publication could be delayed or rejected if it does not meet today's stricter standards.
Watch our webinar series to see how watchdog organizations are uncovering problematic western blot data and get practical guidance on protein normalization and other best practices to help make your western blot results more reliable, reproducible, and defensible.
