Best practices include: 1. Detailed Documentation: Keeping thorough and detailed records of all experimental conditions and outcomes. 2. Real-time Recording: Documenting data in real time to avoid memory-based errors. 3. Data Validation: Regularly validating data against known standards or control experiments. 4. Backup Systems: Using multiple systems to back up data to prevent loss or corruption. 5. Transparency: Ensuring all data, including raw data, is accessible and transparent for peer review.
