Author guidelines for journals could help to promote transparency, openness, and reproducibility
Over the past 3 decades, prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide, affecting all countries and segments society. Despite overwhelming evidence showing devastating consequences inaction on human health, health care system, society, economy, there is no clear consensus effective policy or programmatic strategies to combat obesity. The necessary actions reverse current patterns are well known. Sustained interventions required at several levels, including government, food industry,...
Significance Science is rapidly changing with the current movement to improve science focused largely on reproducibility/replicability and open practices. Through network modeling semantic analysis, this article provides an initial exploration of structure, cultural frames collaboration prosociality, representation women in reproducibility literatures. Network analyses reveal that literatures are emerging relatively independently few common papers or authors. Open has a more collaborative...
Although systems science has emerged as a set of innovative approaches to study complex phenomena, many topically focused researchers including clinicians and scientists working in public health are somewhat befuddled by this methodology that at times appears be radically different from analytic methods, such statistical modeling, which the accustomed. There also conflicts between traditional methodologies, both terms their underlying strategies languages they use. We argue resolvable,...
The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Committee met in November 2014 to address one important element of the incentive systems - journals’ procedures policies for publication. outcome effort is TOP Guidelines. There are eight standards guidelines; each move scientific communication toward greater openness. These modular, facilitating adoption whole or part. However, they also complement other, that commitment standard may facilitate others. Moreover, guidelines sensitive barriers...
This supplement of Health Education & Behavior showcases the current state field systems science applications in health promotion and public health. Behind this work lies a steady stream dollars at federal level. perspective details nearly decade investment by National Institutes Health’s Office Behavioral Social Sciences Research. These investments have included funding opportunity announcements, training programs, developing resources for researchers, cross-disciplinary fertilization,...
Dynamic modeling and simulation are systems science tools that examine behaviors outcomes resulting from interactions among multiple system components over time. Although there excellent examples of their application, they have not been adopted as mainstream in population health planning policymaking. Impediments to use include the legacy ease statistical approaches produce estimates with confidence intervals, difficulty multidisciplinary collaboration for simulation, scientists’ inability...
Developmental science theorists fully acknowledge the wide array of complex interactions among biology, behavior, and environment that together give rise to development. However, despite this conceptual understanding development as a system, developmental has not applied analytic methods commensurate with systems perspective. This article provides brief introduction science, an approach problem solving involves use especially equipped handle relationships their evolution over time. In...
