Ever wondered why IRBs (Institutional Review Boards) are so crucial in research? 🤔 IRBs act as guardians of ethics in academia, ensuring that research involving human subjects is conducted with the utmost respect and safety. They help maintain the integrity of research by reviewing methodologies, ensuring informed consent, and safeguarding participants' rights. Understanding the role of IRBs is essential for any researcher. Want to learn more about their impact on the research process? Dive deeper into the topic by visiting our blog! #ResearchEthics #IRB

Should we, and can we, truly separate science from ethics? A crucial aspect of an academic’s role involves being a judge—whether for exams, publications, or research proposals. Over time, as professional relationships develop, everyone becomes familiar with each other. Yet, remaining impartial and objective in peer review is an ethical obligation, akin to the Hippocratic Oath for physicians. But can we truly separate science from the scientist, especially in cases involving those with rightwing extremist views? What is the ethical framework we should follow in such instances?

Today we’re announcing that we have added a new Temporary Alert to journal articles that are under investigation by Taylor & Francis’ Publishing Ethics & Research Integrity Team. This will enable site users to exercise appropriate caution when considering the research presented. Sabina Alam, Director of Publishing Ethics & Integrity at Taylor & Francis, says: “This new ‘under investigation’ notification will keep readers informed earlier in the process and enable us to remove the message once the investigation has been completed, whatever conclusion it comes to.” The Taylor & Francis Publishing Ethics & Research Integrity team investigates hundreds of research articles each year for a range of suspected issues, including data falsification, plagiarism, fake authorship, and paper mills. Each investigation is carried out thoroughly, impartially, and with care, following Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) guidelines and our investigation principles.

This is a fantastic step forward for improved #communication about, and #transparency around, #ethics investigations into journal articles. Timely communication is essential when informing readers that papers are under investigation. #ResearchEthics #ResearchIntegrity

“Openly sharing perspectives, resources and expertise across relevant stakeholders is the only way forward. Ultimately, we all want to trust what we read because we trust what is published.” A brilliant article by Sabina Alam, definitely worth a read.

I wonder if there's a dangerous complacency among movements working for inclusive ethics & good epistemology (like Sentientism). They're often amateurish, volunteer-based, sitting in the background politely trying to persuade. Even naively assuming most already agree.   Whereas those movements and organisations working for exclusionary ethics and fabricated / dogmatic beliefs are often well-funded, well-organised and are unconstrained by facts or universal compassion. Quite happy with indoctrination, coercion, even threats & use of force.   The answer is not to copy that approach, thereby destroying our own "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings" worldview. But maybe we need to drop the complacency?
