The systematic assessment of completeness of public metadata accompanying omics studies in the Gene Expression Omnibus data repository
These findings highlight significant gaps in metadata sharing, underscoring the need for standardized practices to improve metadata availability. Enhanced metadata reporting would foster data reusability, support better-informed decision-making, and promote reproducible research across the biomedical field.
