We argue that the field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology needs more transparent
reporting to facilitate interpretation and replication of experiments. To achieve this, we
describe EV-TRACK, a crowdsourcing knowledgebase (http://evtrack. org) that centralizes
EV biology and methodology with the goal of stimulating authors, reviewers, editors and
funders to put experimental guidelines into practice.
