Transparency and Reproducibility committee
What we do
The Transparency and Reproducibility Committee works to strengthen trust in pharmacological research by promoting rigorous, verifiable, and well-documented scientific practices. Its role is to support a research ecosystem where results can be confidently interpreted, reused, and built upon by the global scientific community.

Our objectives
- Promote openness in research by encouraging clear reporting of methods, data, and analysis to enhance scientific credibility.
- Support reproducible practices through the adoption of standardized protocols, data sharing, and robust validation procedures.
- Provide guidance and resources for best practices in study design, data management, and ethical research conduct.
- Foster collaboration and education to build a global culture of transparency and reproducibility in pharmacological research.
Improving Transparency and Reproducibility in Preclinical Research
The IUPHAR Transparency and Reproducibility Subcommittee (Basic and Translational Section) is promoting an Open Access database, which gives information on free online resources that help to guide good practice in preclinical research, especially in respect of experiments that use animals.
Topics addressed by these resources include: planning experiments (PREPARE); designing experiments (the ‘EDA’); statistical analysis of the data (InVivoStat); reporting the experimental findings (ARRIVE 2.0); 3Rs compliance; and optimizing research animal welfare. Good practice in all these and other aspects of preclinical research will help to improve both reproducibility of research findings and their successful translation.
We strongly encourage members to use the resources listed in the database and to share the link with their contacts. Also, we welcome receiving information on online resources that could be added to the database. Please send any suggestions to d.i.lewis@leeds.ac.uk .
