The World Conference on Research Integrity (WCRI) is the largest and most significant international conference on Research Integrity and Responsible Conduct of Research. Since its first appearance in 2007, seven world conferences have been hosted in countries around the world, with the most recent in South Africa in 2022. A solid foundation of discussion and promotion of research integrity has been established by these previous world conferences, and this tradition is curated by the World Conference on Research Integrity Foundation (WCRIF). Now, Greece has the honor to welcome and host the 8th WCRI in Athens. We are confident that the 8th WCRI will be interesting and relevant to Research Integrity stakeholders across all disciplinary fields from the basic and applied natural and biomedical sciences to the humanities and social sciences. Important RI stakeholders include researchers, institutional leaders, national and international policy makers, funders and journals.

This proposal to take a retraction as a correction of the published evidence and not as sanction for research misconduct makes a lot of sense.

Recommended Practice for the Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern: https://bit.ly/3xMJehG Very important Recommended Practice, as there is a lot room for improvement in the labeling of retracted publications as such: https://bit.ly/3XLhu7P
"At WCRI, it was clear that Open Science must be practiced with a strong ethical framework to prevent issues such as plagiarism, data fabrication, and misrepresentation. Moreover, sharing raw data and detailed methodologies allows other researchers to reproduce and verify results. This reproducibility is crucial for building a solid foundation of scientific knowledge. By making research processes transparent, Open Science increases accountability among researchers. The synergy between Open Science and research integrity was a central theme at WCRI. Moving forward, fostering an environment where these principles are expected is essential. Key steps include policy development, training and education and community engagement." - an insightful blog by OpenAIRE AMKE on #WCRI2024. https://lnkd.in/dsx45SAb
"Start working reproducibly from the start of your project; the sooner you learn how to do it, the easier it is and the more you will gain from it," says Dr Michael De Boer of the Netherlands Reproducibility Network (NLRN) as part of his advice to early career researchers. In this interview on strengthening scientific integrity De Boer gives advice on how one can make your research more reproducible, and what infrastructure and support is in place to help researchers do this: https://lnkd.in/eU6uf-bJ

Missed #WCRI2024? Be sure to read the media coverage: "Research funders have been urged to support pre-grant networking to promote equal research partnerships between high- and low-income countries. The call was made during a session of the World Conference on Research Integrity that took place in Athens, Greece, this week." https://lnkd.in/dHwY3d3C
Great to see the media coverage of the #WCRI2024 filtering out. This great article on University World News will help raise attention on measures in place to tackle #papermills https://lnkd.in/dQsg7ikr
