[IP-OA_Forum] Announcing next OASPA Webinar: Scholarly Communication in Crisis: Research Integrity and Open Scholarship

[Bernie Folan <bernie.folan@oaspa.org>]

OASPA is delighted to announce our next webinar, happening on April 19: Scholarly Communication in Crisis: Research Integrity and Open Scholarship

Research integrity and ethical standards for publication underpin the research endeavor. The integrity of scholarly communications is dependent on the trust of the research community in the peer review and publication processes that are part of it. However, this confidence is starting to break down, due to a significant rise in unethical research and publication practices, fueled by academic incentive structures heavily skewed toward certain types of publication metrics. 

This problem is a complex and interconnected one and this webinar brings together experts to explore the question of whether open scholarship practices and tools can help detect malpractices and be part of the solution. The speakers will approach this shared problem from a variety of angles, albeit all through the lens of open research and scholarship and how they are building open tools and evidencing the impact of their work.   

We welcome our panelists Dorothy Bishop, Adam Day and b, and our Chair, Catriona MacCallum. See this blog post for full information including speaker biographies.  Please join us live for this free webinar and contribute to the discussion.

Best wishes,

Bernie
