Abstract: Although biobanks can support research across geographic and governance boundaries, biomedical researchers consistently describe preferences for either collaborating with local biobanks or establishing their own biobanks. This article summarizes the potential research impacts of local biobank use and suggests how descriptions of biospecimen provenance can be improved in research publications.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests No interests are declared.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
