This PLOS One publication shares core lab management practices used by PIs to promote rigorous research and ensure a positive and proactive attitude towards health and safety and other compliance expectations. It’s useful for research leaders and academic administrators aiming to improve the quality and integrity of scientific work and address challenges such as inconsistent data quality across projects or confusion over responsibilities for different lab members.
