Such an approach favors the idea that sharable data will validate findings, will promote their reuse, and will stimulate collaborations.
Projects that have crowdsourced analyses of a data set to diverse teams suggest that this approach can work to validate findings and offer new insights.
The aim of this study was to validate findings from mass spectrometry (MS) discovery studies and investigate the biological plausibility of candidates using in-silico network analysis.
Identify proteins that are differentially expressed between head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) and patient-matched normal adjacent tissue, and validate findings in a separate patient cohort.
Some studies were never able to follow up on the final outcomes of a substantial subset of patients; others used researchers intimately involved with the development of the prognostic tool, and not impartial observers, to validate findings.
Plasma cotinine concentration was used to validate findings with self-reported smoking status.
In addition, our approach allows us to validate findings from unbiased, label-free proteomics experiments with further unbiased, label-free proteomics experiments.
The review calls on the Information Commissioner's Office to hold consultations on how to distinguish research data which is accepted in the scientific community to validate findings and should be released from other more preliminary drafts and plans.
New data from a trial called Expedition3, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, does not validate findings from earlier trials that indicated the drug might produce a modest slowdown in cognitive decline.
Future analysis should certainly address the critical uncertainties that have been highlighted, including data needs, and undertake sensitivity analyses to validate findings.
In order to validate findings and ensure all themes were derived from the data, initial data coding was conducted by the author and a co-rater independently, before they came together to collate their findings.
