“CARE & FAIR: Opposing or Aligning Concerns?“, Else Grete Broderstad continues on pondering research ethics, from Sámi perspective. One has to consider carefully, how to implement FAIR but also CARE esp. when dealing with indigenous cultures. #Munin2025 #ResearchEthics #VulnerableCommunities

Please, publish also negative and null results! Giving attention only to positives > distortions of information, what we see differs from reality. E.G. in health sciences: "unpublished research and selective reporting is our worst nightmare", quoting Jan-Ole Hesselberg. #Munin2025 #ResearchEthics
