The word "INTEGRITY" seen on an all-in-one computer

ABSTRACT

This December 2020 paper reflects on the effectiveness of efforts to correct the scientific record. For regular readers of the AHRECS web site will not be surprised the authors/researchers found a system that is not operating well. It suggests a better approach.

The current system for assessing and publicly notifying con- cerns about publication integrity is slow, inefficient, inconsis- tent, inadequate, and opaque. Readers are, therefore, left unaware of potential issues about publications or are given inadequate information to assess publication integrity. We propose a new process for dealing with publication integrity involving the establishment of independent panel(s) that assess publication integrity and transparently report the out- comes of those assessments, independent of the assessment of any misconduct.

Bolland, MJ., Grey, A., Avenell, A. & Klein, A (2020): Correcting the scientific record – A broken system?, Accountability in Research, DOI: 10.1080/08989621.2020.1852938
