The @FinancialTimes on #OpenScience & #ResearchIntegrity:

"“There is a culture of greater transparency,” said @briannosek, a prof at the University of Virginia & co-founder of the Center for Open Science. “The observation of fraud is certainly increasing, but we don’t know the denominator.” Nosek cautions that manipulation of research remains widespread. He said there were still many incentives for authors, their institutions & journals to fabricate & misinterpret data."

@Talia @sharoz We're doing a review of research misconduct procedures in the UK, aiming to tease out tensions and suggest solutions: https://ukrio.org/our-work/ukrio-research-misconduct-review-2023/

UK institutions should for now follow these guidelines: https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/topics/research-and-innovation/concordat-support-research-integrity
We have this model procedure, updated this year: https://ukrio.org/ukrio-resources/publications/misconduct-investigation-procedure/

Anyone with concerns about research linked to the UK can get our free advice: https://ukrio.org/our-work/get-advice-from-ukrio/

“The [investigation] process needs to protect the rights of the individual accused, but once the process is complete and it’s known that misconduct did take place, then that needs to be made clear, and often it isn’t. Often these people who engage in misconduct quietly leave by the back door, maybe join another institution—it’s very opaque.” - Marcus Munafò, Research Professional News webinar

"If you use a chatbot to create or revise text, know the caveats and risks. Ask yourself why you are using a tool that isn’t validated: you’d (hopefully) not do that in another part of your research process."

Stanford President Dr. Tessier-Lavigne finally resigns after independent review found several significant flaws in research supervised by him years ago https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/19/us/stanford-president-resigns-tessier-lavigne.html. I applaud such strong commitment of Stanford University to the principles of #ResearchIntegrity

Should we be investigating the trustworthiness of the research or the researcher?

If you work in global health epidemiology, you should know about BRIDGE: "Bridging Research Integrity and Global Health Epidemiology".

🌉 🌍 ⚕️ 👩‍🔬 🔍 🗒️

The BRIDGE guidelines are good epidemiological practice (GEP) guidelines specifically for global health epidemiology, developed through a Delphi process.
