Details

We have two interactive half-day workshops, demonstrating key methods for the assessment of publication research integrity across many disciplines and types of research, including paper mill products. The morning provides basic key techniques, their practicalities and drawbacks, and resources available. The afternoon demonstrates their use, more advanced techniques, and some real cases. Delegates can attend either session. However, some of the simplest techniques provide the most compelling evidence for integrity concerns, so preferable for afternoon delegates to attend the morning session. Alison Avenell, with contributions to materials from Andrew Grey and Mark Bolland, will cover the REAPPRAISED checklist (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03959-6) and basic statistical techniques widely applicable to publications in the health sciences, RIA, TRACT and other checklists. Jennifer Byrne will cover fact-checking methods to assess claims in preclinical research publications, including the Seek & Blastn tool that checks DNA/ RNA reagents in molecular biology papers. http://scigendetection.imag.fr/TPD52/Vb/ Jana Christopher and Elisabeth Bik will cover detection and severity grading of image integrity issues, using the naked eye, image editing software, and automated screening tools. Jana Christopher will cover image forensics using Photoshop, and examining raw data, mainly pre-publication, https://image-integrity.com Elisabeth Bik will demonstrate automated image duplication detection tools in published material https://scienceintegritydigest.com/
