Individual skill

cc-reporting-standards

Use when assembling STAR Methods and the Key Resources Table for a Cancer Cell (Cell Press) manuscript, and when ensuring rigor / reproducibility (cell-line authentication, mycoplasma, antibody validation, ARRIVE animal reporting, data/code deposition). It governs reporting; it does not design experiments.

# Rigor, Reproducibility & STAR Methods (cc-reporting-standards)

## When to trigger

- Drafting or auditing the Methods section for a Cell Press submission
- Reviewers may flag unauthenticated cell lines, undefined reagents, or missing deposition
- Need to build the Key Resources Table (KRT) and assign RRIDs
- Animal or sequencing work needs structured rigor reporting

## STAR Methods structure

Cell Press uses **STAR Methods** (Structured, Transparent, Accessible Reporting). Organize methods under standardized headings:

1. **Key Resources Table (KRT)** — at the top; tabulates every critical reagent/resource with source, identifier, and RRID.
