Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

23.1K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.9K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.8K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Summary

Core facilities are crucial for scientific rigor, reproducibility, and transparency (RR&T). Despite awareness, improvements in RR&T practices remain limited, highlighting the need for formal RR&T statements in all core labs.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Scientific infrastructure
  • Research integrity

Background:

  • Rigor, reproducibility, and transparency (RR&T) are fundamental to scientific advancement.
  • Shared research resources, or core facilities, play a vital role in upholding RR&T standards.
  • Previous surveys indicated a strong awareness of RR&T importance among core facilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of new RR&T initiatives on core facilities.
  • To evaluate changes in RR&T best practices adoption over four years.
  • To understand the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on core operations and RR&T.

Main Methods:

  • A follow-up survey of core facilities, conducted by the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities Committee on Core Rigor and Reproducibility.
  • Comparison of survey data from 2017 and 2021.
  • Assessment of core facility operations, RR&T practices, and pandemic-related impacts.

Main Results:

  • Respondents consistently emphasized the importance of core facilities in ensuring scientific RR&T.
  • Despite high awareness, significant improvements in RR&T best practices adoption were not evident between surveys.
  • Pandemic-related operational efficiencies, such as SOP development and cross-training, align with RR&T best practices.

Conclusions:

  • Core facilities recognize their critical role in promoting scientific RR&T.
  • A persistent gap exists between awareness and implementation of RR&T improvements.
  • Adoption of formal RR&T statements by all core laboratories is recommended to enhance training, compliance, and experimental quality.
