WG11, as part of its mission to enhance publication standards for reproducible image-based science and in response to an inquiry from Nature Methods, has defined the "Bare Minimum Requirements for Microscopy Methods Reporting". This checklist, built upon the REMBI framework and the NBO-Q metadata model, is designed to guide researchers, scientific journals, and editors in the peer-review process, ensuring that microscopy methods across most applications include sufficient details for reproducibility.
