Second Joint HUPO publication and Proteomics Standards Initiative workshop.
The field of proteomics is still expanding, with each year there being an increasing number of publications on the subject and this has been reflected by a recent expansion in the number of specialist journals serving the field. A plenary session organized by the Publications Committee of the Human Proteome Organisation at the 7(th) HUPO congress [Orchard, S., Ping, P., Proteomics 2009, 9, 502-503] highlighted lack of commonality between the different journals in their reporting requirements as an issue for potential authors and it had been agreed at that event to organise a subsequent, open meeting to discuss this further. As the authors of a set of independent reporting requirements, the MIAPE documents [Taylor, C. F., Paton, N. W., Lilley, K. S., Binz, P.-A. et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 2007, 25, 887-893], the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI) agreed to act as co-hosts and hold this meeting adjacent to their annual workshop in Turku, Finland, April 25-27(th) 2009. Most of the specialist journals publishing in this field were represented at the event as well as data providers, databases and the authors of the HUPO-PSI standards documents.
