Recently, it has become evident that academic research faces issues with the reproducibility of research data. It is critical to understand the underlying causes in order to remedy this situation. Core Facilities (CFs) have a central position in the research infrastructure and therefore they are ideally suited to promote and disseminate good research standards through their users. However, there are currently no clear guidelines directly applicable to academic CFs. To identify the most important factors for research quality, we polled 253 CFs across Europe about their practices and analysed in detail the interaction process between CFs and their users, from the first contact to the publication of the results. Although the survey showed that CFs are dedicated to train and advise their users, it highlighted the following areas, the improvement of which would directly increase research quality: 1) motivating users to follow the advice and procedures for best research practice, 2) providing clear guidance on data management practices, 3) improving communication along the whole research process and 4) clearly defining the responsibilities of each party.

核心设施调查显示，沟通和管理对于最佳研究质量的重要性

最近，很明显，学术研究面临研究数据可重复性的问题。了解根本原因以纠正这种情况至关重要。核心设施（CF）在研究基础架构中处于中心地位，因此非常适合通过用户推广和传播良好的研究标准。但是，目前尚无直接适用于学术CF的明确指南。为了确定影响研究质量的最重要因素，我们对欧洲的253个CF进行了民意调查，并详细分析了CF与其用户之间的互动过程，从首次接触到结果发表。尽管调查显示CF致力于培训和向用户提供建议，但它强调了以下领域：
