RoRI's André Brasil writes about MetaROR (MetaResearch Open Review) and opening the black box of peer review in the inaugural issue of REACH by @sci-integrity.com: www.sci-integrity.com/reach-inaugu...

Heading home after #PRC10 feeling inspired by so many people with fresh ideas on how to make research better, and the highlight was reconnecting with my wonderful friend @james-mcauley.bsky.social after 10 years! Let’s keep the conversation going at the Science Integrity Alliance’s community forum!

Arrived in Chicago for the Peer Review Congress and looking forward to hearing about strategies to safeguard the scholarly literature from fraud and misconduct, while engaging in productive networking. #PCR10 #PeerReview #ResearchIntegrity

The launch of this inaugural issue marks an important milestone for SIA, bringing together some of the most important conversations happening in the research integrity space. I truly hope our community enjoys reading it!

🎬 Episode 3 of "Meet Our Partners" video series is here! We're proud to feature the Brazilian Reproducibility Network @redebrrepro.bsky.social—a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional initiative promoting transparent and reliable research practices across Brazil.🇧🇷 #ResearchIntegrity #Reproducibility

Research integrity, thick and thin - Synthese We contrast two value-schemas of research integrity. One is the ‘thick’ ethos of an immersed and ethical researcher. The other is the ‘thin’ rules, responsibilities, and metrics that we use to communi...

We discuss cultural change initiatives to promote #researchintegrity. We distinguish 2 schemas of research integrity:
👉The thick, lived kind
👉The thin, rule-based kind.
We need both. What’s interesting is trying to understand how they relate. Had fun writing this!

Sciety Groups Content creators helping you decide which preprints to read and trust.

You can find multiple platforms specializing in preprint reviews at sciety.org/groups, where you can also search for available reviews. You may also want to check out @dorassessment.bsky.social and @coarassessment.bsky.social, who are currently leading the research assessment reform.

Transparent peer review to be extended to all of Nature’s research papers From today, all new submissions to Nature that are published will be accompanied by referees’ reports and author responses — to illuminate the process of producing rigorous science.

📢 Big move toward transparency: All @nature.com research articles will now include published peer review reports and author responses.

Don’t miss this virtual presentation on the updated Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines 👇🏻

This is a long-overdue initiative. Patient care should no longer be compromised by flawed or misleading research. It’s also time to recognize that publication in a “high-profile” journal does not always reflect the true quality or integrity of a study. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The journal of sport sciences recently made a sample size justification section mandatory. More and more journals are implementing this, as it is a central part of a study! Learn how to create a state of the art sample size justification from my paper: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

White House Health Report Included Fake Citations

Ah yes, the gold standard of science. Start with an official health report full of fake citations. What could possibly go wrong? 🥇📉🤡

"A literature that's ...polluted with junk is not only no good to anyone, it's a source of real harm, and it lends itself to ... bad-faith attacks on scientific research in general... We need to speak up more about this situation and we need to start cleaning house more vigorously" #Papermills 🧪

Home | DORA The Declaration on Research Assessment recognizes the need to improve the ways in which the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated.

We need to rethink what we reward in science. That's why DORA @dorassessment.bsky.social and COARA @coarassessment.bsky.social are so important—they ask universities to stop chasing rankings and start caring about quality, openness, and real impact. #ReformRA #ResearchAssessment sfdora.org (2/5)

Couldn't agree more, Darren. Walking away from university rankings is one of the most powerful moves we can make to fix research culture. When we stop chasing numbers, we can start focusing on what really matters: quality research that helps people. #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchCulture (1/5)
