In this opinion paper it is my intent to briefly discuss some key issues related to scientific standards in plant proteomics research and the “Minimal Information About a Proteomics Experiment” (MIAPEs) requested for derived publications
The content was presented at the “1st INPPO World Congress on Plant Proteomics: Methodology to Biology,” September 2014, and has been discussed in reviews published by the author, with the most recent referenced (Jorrin Novo et al, 2009, 2014, 2015; Valledor and Jorrin, 2011)
Summary
In this opinion paper it is my intent to briefly discuss some key issues related to scientific standards in plant proteomics research and the “Minimal Information About a Proteomics Experiment” (MIAPEs) requested for derived publications. It is mainly aimed at beginners rather than scientists who have established a long trajectory and experience within the field, trying to rationally connect proteomics and plant biology. While description is valuable by itself, it is not always adequate to support biological speculations or support speculative conclusions While this opinion might be considered controversial by some, it is shared by others and is well presented in the last review by Paola Picotti (Boersema et al, 2015). Because of this evolution in the nature of (plant) proteomics, we have chosen to present a philosophical rather than data-based contribution
