Too low quality standards of reporting practices in scientific literature in in vitro cancer research

Finally our systematic review and meta-analysis on publication practices in scientific literature of a selected area of in vitro cancer research is out (it took a while in the review). Incredible, how many times papers with severe lack of important information details about the used control model or applied conditions for control experiments are published. Little association to increased impact factor. Avoiding the specification of the glucose concentration level of used cell culture media is a hitherto unrecognized source for heterogeneity of results in replication experiments. We will continue our war to improve research reporting standards in in vitro research, an important growing concern with the ongoing move away from animal research. Many German news outlets report. Thanks to Malcolm MacLeod, (BSc(Hons) MBChB PhD FRCP Ed FRSB) from university of Edinburgh, UK,  and his team from CAMARADES research group and foremost soon to be MD (Dr. med.) Timo Sander for an excellent cooperation!
