Research Integrity and Peer Review
|April 15, 2021
Summary
Research institutions and academic journals must collaborate to address publication integrity. Recommendations focus on clear communication and data retention to rectify inaccurate research and maintain scientific trust.
Area of Science:
- Scientific publishing
- Research integrity
- Publication ethics
Background:
- Inaccurate research publications can mislead researchers and decision-makers.
- Prompt identification and rectification of publication errors are crucial.
- Collaboration between institutions and journals is vital but often problematic.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop recommendations for effective cooperation between research institutions and academic journals.
- To address challenges in managing research integrity issues before and after publication.
Main Methods:
- Recommendations developed through discussions at World Conferences on Research Integrity (2013, 2017).
- Expert workshop in 2016 with participants from 7 countries.
- Focus on cooperation and liaison regarding research integrity.
Main Results:
- Institutions should establish distinct integrity assessment mechanisms, share investigation reports with journals, assume responsibility for research, and retain data for 10 years.
- Journals must respond promptly to institutions, define information-sharing criteria, report concerns to institutions, and retain peer review records for 10 years.
Conclusions:
- Difficulties in cooperation hinder the correction of the research record.
- Improved collaboration between institutions, journals, and funders is encouraged to address research integrity concerns.

Overview

01:31Proofreading
7.4K
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore, it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

00:58Symbiosis
35.6K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

01:07Cohesion
57.0K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
3.4K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.
