Abstract

Standardization plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability, reproducibility, and interoperability of research data in the biomedical sciences. Metadata standards are one foundation for the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles of data management. They facilitate data discovery, understanding, and reuse. However, the adoption of metadata standards in biological research lags in practice. Barriers such as complexity, lack of incentives, technical challenges, resource constraints, and resistance to change hinder widespread adoption. In the field of chronobiology, standardization is essential but faces particular challenges due to the longitudinal nature of experimental data, diverse model organisms, and varied measurement techniques. To address these challenges, we propose an approach that emphasizes simplicity and practicality: the development of README templates tailored for particular data types and species. Through this opinion article, our intention is to initiate a dialogue and commence a community-driven standardization process by engaging potential contributors and collaborators.

保持简单:使用自述文件推进时间生物学的标准化。
标准化在确保生物医学研究数据的可靠性、再现性和互操作性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。元数据标准是数据管理FAIR(可查找、可访问、可互操作和可重用)原则的基础之一。它们有助于数据发现、理解和重用。然而,生物学研究中元数据标准的采用在实践中滞后。诸如复杂性、缺乏激励、技术挑战、资源限制和对变革的抵制等障碍阻碍了广泛采用。在时间生物学领域,标准化是必不可少的,但由于实验数据的纵向性质、不同的模式生物和不同的测量技术,标准化面临着特殊的挑战。为了应对这些挑战,我们提出了一种强调简单性和实用性的方法:开发针对特定数据类型和物种的自述模板。通过这篇观点文章,我们的意图是通过吸引潜在的贡献者和合作者来发起对话,并开始社区驱动的标准化过程。
