📢 Great news: Digital Science has become a corporate member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)! #ResearchIntegrity Research and publishing integrity are at the heart of what we do, and as part of our commitment to these principles we've joined COPE to support the work it and others do to maintain standards in academic research. In the week when we’re celebrating everything 'open' and how research is changing, we believe integrity is crucial to drive progress for all. 🔗 Discover more: https://ow.ly/ZFSU50TT5Lh #OAWeek #ResearchTransformation

"Guilty feelings don’t seem to result in good behaviour. Similarly, intellectual knowledge about morality, ethics, and virtue hardly correlates at all in the general population with other aspects of moral functioning."⁠ ⁠ Read this latest article from the special edition of CPOSAT Vol. 3 on the Christian Perspectives on Science and Technology journal site here: https://lnkd.in/gpzGwrTN

Peer review, like Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), has long been a fundamental part of academic publishing, however, much like in-house IRBs of the past, traditional peer review is fraught with delays, inconsistencies, ethical issues, and inefficiencies, highlighting the need for privatization and professionalization. On September 26, 2024 at 11AM ET Dr. Gareth Dyke will be presenting at the Innovations in Peer Review Webinar on behalf of PeerReviewMe hosted by the Council of Science Editors (CSE) during Peer Review Week 2024 Dr. Dyke will discuss the case for privatizing peer review and how it mirrors the successful transition of IRBs to independent external bodies.

🤲Sharing this unique resource I found in my research for my final paper and presentation for my Master of Public Policy & Management Seminar class, exploring challenges of and strategies for communicating in the Post-Truth era. ✏️Test your sense for fake news with BAD NEWS, a publicly accessible media literacy tool created by Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab at Cambridge University. ❗️Leave all notions of ethics at the door and take on the role of a fake newsmonger. Your task is to get as many followers as you can while building your credibility - but don't tell lies that are obvious or disappoint your audience. 🧠 💉 The goal is to expose the tactics and manipulation techniques used to mislead people and build a following. Bad News works as a psychological “vaccine” vs. disinformation: playing it builds cognitive resistance vs. common forms of manipulation we encounter every day. Play now: https://lnkd.in/emnxkN3S

📣 One week left to get your abstracts in for our edited collection 'Beyond Boundaries: Thinking Through Empirical Research Approaches to Business, Human Rights and the Environment' co-edited by myself, Marisa McVey, Samentha Goethals and Federica Nieri, as part of Springer Law's book series. 📣 Deadline: 30 September 2024 Did you choose a particular approach to agency or structure in your BHRE research? Do you have insights on data collection or access? What role did positionality play in the work? We welcome in-depth and critical explorations of the rich methodological journeys taken in research on business, human rights and the environment, including the choices made regarding theory, ethics, analysis, and the implications of these choices on the research itself and the field more broadly. More details and submission info can be found here:

Let's delve into the core of research integrity! Despite its enduring presence, the surge in retractions last year, coupled with recent incidents of AI-generated content in scientific papers, serves as a poignant reminder of the persistent threat to scientific credibility. Even with unintentional oversights, the consequences are significant. How can we strengthen our dedication to research ethics? Dive into our curated collection of resources to assist researchers in navigating the nuances of research integrity in academic publishing: https://ow.ly/f0LK50QWwy4 #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicPublishing #ScholComm
