In the 5th episode of Research Integrity Matters, Gowri and Marino talk with Lyn Horn and Sandra Alba about the recent Cape Town Statement on Fostering Research Integrity through Fairness and Equity. The Statement advocates for fair practice from conception to implementation of research and provides 20 recommendations aimed at all involved stakeholders.

Nature published a commentary on this in March 2023 and we are looking forward to discussing the Statement as well as the Nature commentary today with Lyn and Sandra. You can find the Cape Town Statement here and the Nature article about the statement here. The BRIDGE statement (co-authored by Sandra) can be found here.

In the second episode of Research Integrity Matters, Gowri and Marino talk with Inge Stegeman and Jeroen Sondervan about open science and recognition, valuation, and effectiveness:

How do open science/access relate to research integrity when we look at recognizing and valuing researchers efforts in terms of opening up research? Does it benefit researchers, does it foster research integrity and how effective are all these interventions in academic practices actually?
