Hello all,
You might find the most recent Unlocking Research blog interesting - it
summarises a talk given by Prof Tom Cochrane to Univeristy of Cambridge
staff on 'Openness, integrity and supporting researchers'.
To summarise the summary:
* The nature of research itself is changing profoundly. This includes
extraordinary dependence on data, and complexity requiring
intermediate steps of data visualisation. These eResearch
techniques have been growing rapidly, and in a way that may not be
understood or well led by senior administrators.
* Early or mid career researchers are asking: What are the data
services that I can get from the University? What is the University
doing by way of scaffolding the support services that will make that
more effective for me? What sort of help and training will you
provide in new ways of disseminating findings and new publishing
approaches?
* While universities may have in place some kind of code of conduct to
advise people about research misconduct, there are questions about
how well understood or implemented this advice or knowledge about
those kinds of perspectives actually are.
* We need concerted action by people at certain levels -- Vice
Chancellors, heads of funding councils, senior government bureaucrats.
