Two important takeaways from this Scientific American article by Peter Aldhous: 1. The arduous journey it takes to get a paper retracted 2. Pinning blame for research misconduct on an individual & the other, broader reasons for misconduct happening in the first place (including lab culture, toxicity, etc.) #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchMisconduct #Ethics #Retractions #ResearchCulture

I suspect that one of the many motivations that for-profit journals have against reforming open science to make it more freely transparent is because they're afraid of the embarrassment of retractions because they think that it will erode their prestige and affect their bottom line. Retractions are a part of science! Nothing is final - or settled science - there is no such thing as a definitive or putative version of record. it's an invention created by the for-profit publishers to provide them with legitimacy on the record and it is anti- scientific. Move to a model of a record of versions and provide opportunity for scholars to engage freely and transparently in revision the way that science intends.

🔬 Enhancing Scientific Integrity: A Crucial Discussion on Publishing and Retracting Research 🔬 In the fast-paced world of scientific research, maintaining the integrity of published studies is more important than ever. To delve deeper into this critical topic, I've initiated a discussion on ResearchGate titled "Enhancing Scientific Integrity: Best Practices for Publishing and Retracting Research." Join the conversation to explore: i) How can we refine the peer review process to minimize errors in published research? ii) What are the best practices for handling retractions to prevent the propagation of flawed data? iii) How can we foster more active post-publication scrutiny and corrections? Your insights are invaluable as we strive to enhance the quality and reliability of scientific research. 🔗 Join the Discussion on ResearchGate: https://lnkd.in/dVjswi7B For those looking to learn more about the topic, I recommend checking out this insightful article on Nature: Chain retraction: how to stop bad science propagating through the literature (https://lnkd.in/dkerq_6E) #ScientificIntegrity #PeerReview #ResearchGate #ScientificCommunity Illustration: Phil Wheeler

A COLLECTION OF EMPIRICAL AND RESEARCH PAPERS ON BOARD DIVERSITY This time, we are eager to share the updated list of empirical and research papers published in one of the journals by Publishing House "Virtus Interpress" devoted to the issues of board diversity. We hope that this collection of papers will be useful for those scholars pursuing research in the field of #corporategovernance, specifically related to #boardofdirectorspractice and #boarddiversity. Our deepest appreciation to Prof. Tarek Eldomiaty, Nourhan Eid, Mohamed Rashwan, Amandeep Kaur, Maheshwari Girish Chandra, SIMONA RANALDO, Grazia Dicuonzo, Francesca Donofrio, Shab Hundal, Anne Eskola, and many others for their valuable findings.
