SUMMARY:DATA INTEGRITY AND REPRODUCABILITY
DESCRIPTION:While peer review and replication of results have long been a hallmark of high-quality research\, the scrutiny of results has intensified in recent years\, particularly in situations where the technology is bound for licensing or acquisition. Competition\, technological challenges\, economic pressure\, and rare but high-profile cases of fraud are all contributing to this phenomenon.
