Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

11.9K
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...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

125
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Blind Procedures

10.6K
Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

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...

Ethics in Research

23.0K
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.

Censoring Survival Data01:09

Censoring Survival Data

80
Survival analysis is a statistical method used to analyze time-to-event data, often employed in fields such as medicine, engineering, and social sciences. One of the key challenges in survival analysis is dealing with incomplete data, a phenomenon known as "censoring." Censoring occurs when the event of interest (such as death, relapse, or system failure) has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period or is otherwise unobservable, and it might have many different...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Research Methodology
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • Significant portions of ecological (82-89%) and medical (85%) research offer limited end-user value due to inefficiencies.
  • Research waste is a substantial problem across scientific disciplines, impacting the utility and efficiency of scientific endeavors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the adoption of research registration and registered reports in ecology to enhance research quality and impact.
  • To propose a coordinated strategy involving funders, publishers, and institutions to increase registration rates and reduce research waste.

Main Methods:

  • Drawing evidence from medical research and other fields to support the benefits of registration.
  • Outlining key considerations for designing an effective registration system tailored for ecological research.

Main Results:

  • Registration and registered reports have the potential to significantly improve the quality and impact of ecological research.
  • Evidence suggests that registration practices can effectively mitigate research waste.

Conclusions:

  • Coordinated support from funders, publishers, and research institutions is essential for the successful implementation and scaling of registration practices in ecology.
  • Further research is needed to understand the barriers to low registration rates in ecology, alongside the development of targeted short- and long-term actions to promote registration and minimize research waste.
