Summary
An educational intervention improved graduate researchers' knowledge and perceptions of open science (OS) and responsible research practices (RRPs), increasing their intention to adopt these methods, despite limited changes in OS outputs.
Area of Science:
- Research methodology
- Scientific communication
- Higher education
Background:
- Educational initiatives can promote open science (OS) and responsible research practices (RRPs).
- A pre-post study assessed an educational intervention's impact on graduate researchers' adoption of OS and RRPs at a Brazilian University.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on graduate researchers' adherence, knowledge, and perceptions regarding open science (OS) and responsible research practices (RRPs).
Main Methods:
- An online interactive course on OS and RRPs was delivered to graduate students.
- Data on OS outputs (e.g., OSF accounts, registrations, preprints) and participant perceptions were collected pre- and post-intervention.
Main Results:
- OSF accounts increased significantly, but registrations, protocols, data sets, and preprints showed minimal improvement.
- Participant perceptions of the research evaluation system, OS practices, and RRPs improved positively.
- Intention to adopt practices like registration and preprint publication increased notably post-intervention.
Conclusions:
- The educational intervention positively influenced graduate researchers' perceptions and intentions towards OS and RRPs.
- While direct adoption of some OS outputs saw limited change, the intervention fostered a greater understanding and willingness to implement these practices.

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.

537
Social psychology is a scientific discipline dedicated to understanding how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. Unlike common sense, which relies on anecdotal experiences and intuition, social psychology employs systematic research and empirical methods to ensure objectivity and reliability. This distinction is fundamental in distinguishing scientifically supported findings from mere speculation.Four fundamental scientific values guide a structured approach to research in...

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,...

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
