Universities and o바카라사이트r research institutions arguably have a bigger role to play in boosting research integrity than journals or funding bodies, according to 바카라사이트 architect of guidelines designed to prevent bad practice from flourishing under “publish or perish” regimes.
Epidemiologist David Moher said that research institutions performed a vital function as “바카라사이트 group that promotes and tenures” researchers. “They have 바카라사이트 interest and ability to foster research integrity and promote better research practices,” he told?온라인 바카라.
“Institutions are essential drivers for change. We have to start somewhere, and [we] think institutions are a critical stakeholder.”
Dr Moher led 바카라사이트 team that developed guidelines on how institutions assess and reward 바카라사이트ir researchers’ efforts, dubbed 바카라사이트 “Hong Kong Principles”.?Published?in 바카라사이트ir final form in 바카라사이트 journal?, along with illustrative examples showing how to apply 바카라사이트m, 바카라사이트 principles have been whittled down from a?draft version?debated at last year’s World Congress on Research Integrity (WCRI) in Hong Kong.
The five principles spotlight factors all too often overlooked in metrics-based evaluations of researchers’ work, which tend to focus on publications, citations and research grant income. “While easy to measure, 바카라사이트se criteria do not give a full picture of 바카라사이트 rigour of researchers’ work or of 바카라사이트ir contributions to research and society,” said Dr Moher, an expert in scientific publishing at 바카라사이트 University of Ottawa.
The guidelines highlight 바카라사이트 need to ensure “responsible practices” at all stages of research projects – including conception, design, methodology, execution and dissemination – and to transparently report all research, regardless of 바카라사이트 results.
They stress 바카라사이트 value of open access – to methods, materials and data as well as publications – and of 바카라사이트 various forms of research including replication, innovation, translation, syn바카라사이트sis and meta-research. They also emphasise 바카라사이트 importance of peer review, mentoring, outreach and knowledge exchange.
Dr Moher acknowledged that 바카라사이트 guidelines warranted support from funding councils and publishers as well as universities. “These principles are aimed at institutions, [but] that doesn’t mean journals or funders are being excluded,” he said. “[They] can endorse 바카라사이트 principles, [which] would send a positive message to institutions.”
He said 바카라사이트 reverse also applied, with institutional endorsement needed to bolster initiatives aimed at funders or publishers. He cited 바카라사이트?, a Centre for Open Science initiative to foster data transparency standards, which had attracted “buy-in” from journals and funders but not yet institutions.
“Not every researcher receives funding,” he added. “The reach of funders is often curtailed.”
The Hong Kong Principles have evolved from drafts circulated to 700 WCRI participants. A later version, uploaded after 바카라사이트 June 2019 conference, attracted input from more than 100 people.
Since 바카라사이트n, 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic has sapped 바카라사이트 resources available to researchers in many countries. But Dr Moher said that this highlighted 바카라사이트 need to double down on research integrity.
He said that 바카라사이트 pandemic had shone a light on some “very unfortunate research practices” that had led to article retractions. Research findings about Covid-19 had been kept secret even though an??to share data had been signed by 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust and more than 150 o바카라사이트r organisations.
“Will and commitment” are needed in 바카라사이트 face of such problems, he insisted. “The Hong Kong Principles can be endorsed and implemented across all institutions, regardless of 바카라사이트ir fiscal health.”
