- Reposted by Luciana MachadoWe 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! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

- 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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

- Reposted by Luciana Machado"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 🧪
- Inside a Scientific Paper Mill @dereklowe.bsky.social writes about how Csaba Szabo was contacted by a paper mill and offered money if he could help them write more junk papers. www.science.org/content/blog...
- 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)
- We've been asked what the most important thing we can do to improve research culture. My answer, the only answer, is to withdraw immediately from university rankings. bsky.app/profile/stat...
