MvdH: @NRIN_Integrity has closed meetings with e.g. research integrity officers to discuss policy and education, but also open meetings: webinars, symposia, conferences, and a monthly 'happy hour'.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
@MariettevdHoven MvdH: Educating researchers about research integrity is important. So we should start thinking about fairness and integrity already for undergraduates. We should also train the supervisors. Continuous education of everyone.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
@MariettevdHoven MvdH: During school/university we already start discussions similar to authorship, if we force students to work in groups, with some 'free riders' and others who do the work. That is not good for quality of education.
#OpenScienceWeek2024
@MariettevdHoven MvdH: Preprints, preregistration, and sharing also can help to make make science more open.
For researchers, all these expectations can look like a minefield.
#OpenScienceWeek2024
@MariettevdHoven MvdH: Responsible conduct of research (RCR) is at the start of research integrity. There are increasing standards and trainings on how to do research and how to manage data. This adds some burden to researchers, but it also helps to reflect and do better.
#OpenScienceWeek2024
@MariettevdHoven MvdH: Here are the three monkeys, with a little twist: hear, see, and speak up! This is the core of all we still need to learn.
Some discussions about who will be authors of a project up front can prevent dilemmas about authorship. Point out what is not ok.
#OpenScienceWeek2024
MvdH: @MariettevdHoven - the Dilemma Game often asks what you would do in a particular situation. There can be a real powerplay in academia.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
Next up: Mariëtte van den Hoven, chair of the executive board of the Netherlands Research Integrity Network @NRIN_Integrity
MvdH presents a case from the Dilemma Game app by @erasmusuni about authorship, and let the audience give feedback.

GtR: How can we counteract the Merchants of Doubt?
Advocating for open and rigorous science, support journalism and sleuths, regulate wisely, enforce the law, and educate.
#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR: The American Medical Associations is selling data which doctors prescribe which drugs.
US Sunshine act provides increased transparency of financial relationships between MDs and industry.
Gifts are used to create reciprocating.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR discusses several corrupt cases involving big pharma, noting that pharma can fund a lot of research that governments would not fund.
Industry can also infiltrate in education.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR refers to a PLOS ONE paper, 'The Science for Profit Model' that analyzes strategies used by corporations to influence science.
They might e.g. conceal the industry's involvement - many 'think-tanks' are vague about their funding.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR: Being transparent about data and errors can be very helpful in these discussions.
Deniers of acid rain, ozone, global warming, nitrogen have had big effects. How can we recognize these influences?
#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR: Certain individuals or small organizations can penetrate a scientific community in an attempt to change the discussion.
Skepticism is good, but can be misused for un-scientific reasons.
"Scientific doubts must remain"
#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR: talks about "Merchants of doubt", a book about how a 'small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of' dangers such as smoking or climate change. The book is 14 years old, but still very relevant!

#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR: I also worked on honorary authorship, which is highly prevalent in health sciences
https://t.co/cFMHMwh2mD
and on transparency and acknowledging:

#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR does meta-science, doing research on research. They looked at instructions to authors.
What can academic journals do to enhance open science and transparency?
When stakes are high, journals are stricter. Room for improvement.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
GtR: It is very dramatic that former colleagues, who were friends at one point, later got involved with fraudulent research.
A Dutch survey found that 8% of researchers admitted to doing fraud. That was higher than expected.

#OpenScienceWeek2024
After lunch: Gerben ter Riet, @grietter57, clinical epidemiologist at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA), with: "On Traitors of Truth, Merchants of Doubt".
GtR went to a conference that turned out to have been organized by fraudsters.
