By Dr. Jo HavemannScience
Access 2 Perspectives – Conversations. All about Open Science Communication episodes
- Research integrity with a focus on reproducibility in Nanoscience - A conversation with Maha Said
Maha Said is a post-doctoral researcher on the ERC-funded NanoBubbles project which asks the questions how, when, and why does science fail to correct itself. Originally trained in molecular and cellular biology and working close to science and technology studies especially science integrity, she is currently working in 2 sub-projects, the first being post publication peer review in which articles on the topic of interest are critically analyzed and publicly commented on Pubpeer, and second is the reproducibility project in which research articles that describe the use of nanoparticles for intracellular sensing are examined.
On this podcast episode, Jo and Maha engage in a conversation focused on research integrity within the field of nanoparticles. Maha shares her journey into this area, driven by experiences of encountering integrity issues during her PhD research, particularly with antibodies. They discuss the challenges of peer review, replicability, and reproducibility, highlighting Maha's current work on post-publication peer review and replicability initiatives within nanoparticle research, specifically intracellular sensing. They also touch on the complexity of defining and implementing registered reports as a tool for ensuring transparency and accountability in research. Throughout their discussion, they emphasize the importance of critical analysis, collaboration across disciplines, and adaptation to changes in scientific processes.

55 min - Prototyping a new pathway for Open Science - A conversation with Cooper Smout
Cooper Smout is on a mission to revolutionize scientific conduct and communication through the principles of Open Science. Unhappy with the costly, inefficient, and biased nature of scholarly publishing, Cooper saw the need for change. Thus, he founded Project Free Our Knowledge, an initiative dedicated to empowering researchers globally.
With Free Our Knowledge, Cooper seeks to harness the collective power of researchers worldwide to challenge the dominance of profit-driven publishers. His vision is to redirect the invaluable contributions of researchers from commercial publishers to community-owned Open Access journals. This shift not only democratizes access to knowledge but also minimizes risks for vulnerable individuals, such as Early Career Researchers.
Cooper joins Jo on this podcast episode to discuss the evolution of open science, personal experiences with academia and mental health, challenges in transitioning to open access publishing, and his project, Free Our Knowledge. They discuss the resistance within academia, the need for cultural shifts, and the slow progress towards disrupting the current academic publishing model. Cooper shares his journey with Free Our Knowledge and its transition to a new campaign focusing on simple, low-bar pledges for open access publishing.
