摘要

Despite the rapid growth of 2D materials research over the past two decades in both academic and industrial settings, there remain big challenges in producing consistent, reproducible results in the field. Subtle variations in methods or materials can lead to drastically different outcomes, undermining reliability and slowing down advances. However, owing to a culture of placing greater value on novelty rather than on reproducibility, little effort is expended in ensuring that results are collected and presented in a way that enables reproducibility. This Expert Recommendation presents two protocols that researchers can follow to improve reproducibility in 2D materials science, as well as practical recommendations on how researchers can engage constructively with funders, publishers and industry to create a stronger basis for reproducibility, transparency and trust in the field.
