The threat to reproducibility and awareness of current rates research misbehavior sparked initiatives better academic science. One initiative is preregistration quantitative research. We investigate whether the format could also be used boost credibility qualitative A crucial distinction underlying that between prediction postdiction. In research, data are decide which way interpretation should move forward, using generate hypotheses new questions. Qualitative thus a real-life example...
Preregistrations—records made a priori about study designs and analysis plans placed in open repositories—are thought to strengthen the credibility transparency of research. Different authors have put forth arguments favor introducing this practice qualitative research suggestions for what include preregistration form. The goal was gauge understand parts templates researchers would find helpful informative. We used an online Delphi design consisting two rounds with feedback reports between....
Background Supervision is one important means of promoting responsible research. However, what a supervisor should do and how to foster supervisory climate unclear.
Publications determine to a large extent the possibility stay in academia ("publish or perish"). While some pressure publish may incentivise high quality research, too much publication is likely have detrimental effects on both scientific enterprise and individual researchers. Our research question was: What level of perceived four academic institutions Amsterdam does differ between ranks disciplinary fields? Investigating researchers with revised Publication Pressure Questionnaire, we find...
Breaches of research integrity have shocked the academic community. Initially explanations were sought at level individual researchers but over time increased recognition emerged important role that climate may play in influencing researchers' (mis)behavior. In this study we aim to assess whether from different ranks and disciplinary fields experience differently. We sent an online questionnaire Amsterdam using Survey Organizational Research Climate. Bonferroni corrected mean differences...
The research climate plays a key role in fostering integrity research. However, little is known about what constitutes responsible climate. We investigated academic researchers' perceptions on this through focus group interviews. recruited researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and University Medical Center to participate discussions that consisted of similar ranks disciplinary fields. asked participants reflect characteristics climate, barriers they perceived which interventions...
One way to strengthen research integrity, is through supervision. According previous research, a supervisor should be well-versed in responsible practices (RRPs) and possess the necessary interpersonal skills convey RRPs. We developed 3-day pilot training for PhD supervisors that combined RRPs skills. Our aim was assess: perceptions regarding supervision (before after pilot) participants' views on combining Before pilot, we sent Research Supervision Quality Evaluation survey participating...
Reproducible research and open science practices have the potential to accelerate scientific progress by allowing others reuse outputs, promoting rigorous that is more likely yield trustworthy results. However, these are uncommon in many fields, so there a clear need for training helps encourages researchers integrate reproducible into their daily work. Here, we outline eleven strategies making norm at institutions. The strategies, which emerged from virtual brainstorming event organized...
Abstract Background There is increasing evidence that research misbehaviour common, especially the minor forms. Previous studies on primarily focused biomedical and social sciences, from natural sciences humanities scarce. We investigated what academic researchers in Amsterdam perceived to be detrimental misbehaviours their respective disciplinary fields. Methods used an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. First, survey participants four fields rated frequency impact of a list 60....

Abstract In this paper, we explore different possible explanations for research misconduct (especially falsification and fabrication), investigate whether they are compatible. We suggest that to explain misconduct, should pay attention three factors: (1) the beliefs desires of misconductor, (2) contextual affordances, (3) unconscious biases or influences. draw on narratives (individual, institutional, system science) as proposed by Sovacool review six explanations. Four theories start from...
The emphasis on impact factors and the quantity of publications intensifies competition between researchers. This was traditionally considered an incentive to produce high-quality work, but there are unwanted side-effects this like publication pressure. To measure effect pressure researchers, Publication Pressure Questionnaire (PPQ) developed. Upon using PPQ, some issues came light that motivated a revision. We constructed two new subscales based work stress models facet method. administered...
Both scientists and society at large have rightfully become increasingly concerned about research integrity in recent decades. In response, codes of conduct for been developed elaborated. We show that these contain substantial pluralism. First, there is metaphysical pluralism include values, norms, virtues. Second, axiological pluralism, because are different categories virtues: epistemic, moral, professional, social, legal. Within between categories, norms can be incommensurable or...
Abstract Background Concerns about research misbehavior in academic science have sparked interest the factors that may explain misbehavior. Often three clusters of are distinguished: individual factors, climate and publication factors. Our question was: to what extent can individual, variance frequently perceived misbehaviors? Methods From May 2017 until July 2017, we conducted a survey study among researchers Amsterdam. The included measurement instruments previously reported results here...
Supervision is one important way to socialize Ph.D. candidates into open and responsible research. We hypothesized that should be more likely identify science practices (here publishing access sharing data) in empirical publications were part of a thesis when the candidates' supervisors engaged these compared those whose did not or less often did. Departing from repositories at four Dutch University Medical centers, we included 211 pairs candidates, resulting sample 2062 publications....
Proponents of open science often refer to issues pertaining research integrity and vice versa. In this commentary, we argue that concepts such as responsible practices, transparency, are connected one another, but they each have a different focus. We practices focus more on the rigorous conduct research, transparency focuses predominantly complete reporting science’s core is mostly about dissemination research. Doing justice these requires action from researchers institutions make with...
Concerns about research waste have fueled debate incentivizing individual researchers and institutions to conduct responsible research. We showed stakeholders a proof-of-principle dashboard with quantitative metrics of practices at University Medical Centers (UMCs). Our question was: What are stakeholders’ views on that displays the adoption UMC-level? recruited (UMC leadership, support staff, funders, experts in research) participate online interviews. applied content analysis understand...
Across disciplines, researchers increasingly recognize that open science and reproducible research practices may accelerate scientific progress by allowing others to reuse outputs promoting rigorous is more likely yield trustworthy results. While initiatives, training programs, funder policies encourage adopt practices, these are uncommon in many fields. Researchers need integrate into their daily work. We organized a virtual brainstorming event, collaboration with the German Reproducibility...
There is an increased focus on fostering integrity in research by through creating open culture where dilemmas can be discussed. We describe a pilot intervention study that used Moral Case Deliberation (MCD), method originated clinical ethics support, to discuss with researchers. Our question was: moral case deliberation groups help navigate dilemmas? performed 10 MCDs 19 researchers who worked three different from disciplinary fields at university the Netherlands. analyzed and values...
