Researchers face increasing expectations to incorporate reproducible research practices in their work. The shifting landscape of data mandates, author submission guidelines, community checklists, global IDs for reagents or shared protocols, and other new practices can be daunting for researchers to engage with, especially when so many of these practices are tied to the work done at shared research facilities where they are not the domain experts. We discuss an approach that presents greater consultation with and documentation of the work of shared research facilities in resulting publications as a valuable service that can be provided to authors to help them address these new reproducibility expectations for their work. Using papers from the Center for Open Science's "Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology" project as models, we discuss potential workflows and tools to support this increasingly deep collaboration with researchers as well as related marketing and framing suggestions to help persuade researchers of the value of this approach.
