Article Synopsis
- Research in marine microbial communities is expanding, but inconsistencies in seawater sampling methods make comparisons difficult among studies.
- The EuroMarine Open Science Exploration initiative (EMOSE) was developed to standardize research by sampling seawater from a single location in the NW Mediterranean Sea, testing various processing approaches.
- Findings indicate that while the volume of seawater filtered doesn't significantly impact microbial diversity, differences exist based on size fractions and filter types; thus, merging data from studies with differing methodologies should be approached with caution.
One of the foundations of the scientific method is to be able to reproduce experiments and corroborate the results of research that has been done before. However, with the increasing complexities of new technologies and techniques, coupled with the specialisation of experiments, reproducing research findings has become a growing challenge. Clearly, scientific methods must be conveyed succinctly, and with clarity and rigour, in order for research to be reproducible.
