Abstract：In recent years, the issue of "reproducibility" of scientific research results has become more and more prominent. Radiobiology is a medical science that studies the biological effect of radiation on living organisms, and there is also a serious problem of "reproducibility of findings". Inaccuracy of physical dose or incomplete dosimetric reports is one of the main causes. Use of guidelines, specifications and recommendations for dosimetric measurement, such as the standardized scoring system for dosimetric reports, will help improving the standardization and accuracy of physical dose measurement in radiobiological research. In this article, multiple guidelines and recommends for improving collaboration between radiobiology and radiation physics, as well as for dose standardization of radiobiological research were evaluated, aiming to provide reference for improving the reproducibility of radiobiological research.
