(Australia) Hydroxychloroquine in Australia: a cautionary tale for journalists and scientists – Reuters Institute (Joanna McCarthy | August 2022)
The silver lining in pandemics, public health disasters, loss of life and economies gutted may not always be easy to see. Clearly, some in the media, politicians and opinion makers didn’t learn the lesson from the Spanish Flu. Hopefully, we can look back at the awful experience of the last couple of years and realise it was science that gave us a vaccine and a way through the perils of COVID-19 not snake oil, wacky theories or Hydroxychloroquine.
(Australia) Essay mill websites ‘get more hits than there are people on campus’ – Times Higher Education (John Ross | July 2022)
This is an academic integrity, rather than research integrity, story but we thought the numbers startling enough to include in our newsfeed. We also suspect that someone who has got away with cheating on an academic assignment by purchasing a paper from a paper from a paper mill is likely to be inclined to try the same cheat with a research output. As this piece discusses, there is no reason to believe this worrying situation is limited to one Australian University or that this problem is confined only to Australia. Academic institutions must have a strong policies with regards to paper mills and countries must also take serious stamps to try and tackle their use.
(USA and Australia) Delaware ecologist caught in fish research misconduct net – Times Higher Education (John Ross | August 2022)
Multiple retractions reflect poorly on the research practices of individuals and potentially their host institution when the retracted paper was written. They can also raise doubts about the standard of research integrity development for HDR students at the institution where individuals have studied for their PhD. Institutions must be cognisant of not only quality professional development being about research culture at the institution, it is also risk management to protect their reputation coming into the future.
(Australia) Ethics guide details how researchers should work with wildlife – Times Higher Education (John Ross | July 2022)
Superficially, we might think that drones are a way to cheaply and safely reach remote locations, they are a way to collect data about animals safely and without potential harm to anybody, but this Australian work and this Times Higher Education suggest that such assumptions are wrong. Drones are causing harm and institutions that have ethics guidelines on their correct use.
