ReproducibiliTea journal club

Tuesday 23 March, 2021
13:00-14:00

Join our next Maastricht ReproducibiliTea meeting about Questionable Research Practices: are they really that common? And why are they problematic?

We know of the big cases of scientific misconduct because they get a lot of media attention, but how about the less flagrantly questionable research practices? How common are they? During this ReproducibiliTea meeting we will discuss an article about ‘Measuring the Prevalence of Questionable Research Practices With Incentives for Truth Telling’. The article can be found here.

To sign up for the Zoom link, please fill in your email address using this form.

The ReproducibiliTea journal club initiative started in 2018 at the University of Oxford, but since then ReproducibiliTea has spread to 125 institutions in 25 different countries. The journal clubs examine topics related to reproducibility, open science, research quality, and good/bad research practices. For more information have a look here. This year we started our own ReproducibiliTea journal club at Maastricht University. All meetings are planned to be held online through Zoom.
