Comprehensive metadata accompanying raw microscopy image data is essential to ensure transparency, accountability, and reproducibility in scholarly publishing. Yet integrity investigations frequently uncover gaps that undermine the verification and interpretation of research findings. This webinar, featuring Jana Christopher, Nathalie Gaudreault, Steven West, and Marie Soulière, will explore practical strategies for improving the handling of image data and metadata in research and publishing. Participants will gain an overview of current developments, engage in interactive polls and discussion, and help identify the resources and guidance most needed to strengthen image data integrity. Targeted to research integrity and ethics officers, journal editors, and publishing professionals, the session offers actionable insights to promote transparency and trust in image-based research.
