Andrew Porter (@CRUK_MI) shares why postdocs are at the forefront of promoting a healthy research culture, in our latest #ResearchIntegrity column.

They:

✔️embrace new ideas
✔️train and induct new starters
✔️promote open conversation

Postdocs provide much of the fabric that underpins research integrity 👩‍🔬

This #Postdoc Appreciation Week, Andrew Porter (@CRUK_MI) talks about why postdocs are unsung heroes when it comes to #ResearchIntegrity & building a healthy research culture 👉 https://t.co/w3xXdfoqAh

Reading another piece on the issues with #Twitter, I decided to try out @bluesky

Immediate impressions are that it is more like early Twitter - less frenetic, uncluttered, simple to use - and I've already found a bunch of people to follow

@AbalkinaAnna That's very strange. I assume it's not that they've hacked your account, just that they set up a new account using your name?

[Andrew Porter @Retropz]

@nickwizzo @MDPIOpenAccess @ElsevierConnect Gotcha.
And yes - that seems like a minimum process to ensure integrity (and not particularly burdensome, either).

[Andrew Porter @Retropz]

@nickwizzo @MDPIOpenAccess @ElsevierConnect In each case, I think all the authors received a notification of the changes to authorship, and all had to sign off on them - so there was some sort of process. Understanding more of the issues with authorship now I would certainly advocate for even stricter processes

[Andrew Porter @Retropz]

@nickwizzo @MDPIOpenAccess @ElsevierConnect Definitely agree that there should be very stringent oversight in terms of adding authors.
But in terms of doing it, I've added authors (and been added a couple of times) during revisions to manuscripts which needed new experiments or additional methods/approaches

@westwoodsam1 @deevybee Seconding the great recommendations so far. Also the REAPPRAISED checklist has lots of things to look out for - https://t.co/X970bVtmxY

I also recommend the @PubPeer plugin for browsers, and using a reference manager that checks the @RetractionWatch database

[Andrew Porter @Retropz]

@CRUK_MI @stevebagley @FBMH_UoM @MCRCnews @CRUKresearch Fab to see this commitment to #sustainability in #research - great work @stevebagley for getting your lab to Silver level for LEAF!

Working sustainably shows care & respect (a core principle of #ResearchIntegrity) for the environment, so it's great to see that in practice!

[CRUK Manchester Institute @CRUK_MI]

🎉 The Visualisation, Irradiation and Analysis Core Facility, headed by @stevebagley, have just achieved Silver Level in the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) this week!

[Andrew Porter @Retropz]

@deevybee They say "the customer is always right", and here the 'customer' is the author. All the many opportunities to revise, adapt, resubmit etc make sense if viewed from a business perspective rather than a scientific one. Even the rapid speed of process is customer-focused

#Spamference alert:
I just got an invitation to talk at the “Unveiling Microbial Mysteries: Pioneering Solutions for Tomorrow's Challenges' conference by Cognition Conferences. There are several tell-tale signs this is a predatory conference organizer.
