In January 2022, members of the BioImaging North America (BINA) Quality Control and Data Management Working Group, held a Community Conversation to introduce a series of articles that had been featured in the FOCUS on Microscopy Reporting and Reproducibility published in the December 2021 issue of Nature Methods. During this event, the authors of the papers featured on the FOCUS issue were invited to present their work and interact with members of the BINA community. A series of community surveys were conducted during this Community Conversation to better understand the audience, their current reporting and reproducibility practices, and their interest in tools and resources to help them better take advantage of these practices. While the results of these polls are limited by the small sample size, this document is published in the hope that these results could be useful to the community to guide the future development of Research Data Management metadata specifications and software tools.
