ALPSP: Trust, Truth and Scholarly Publishing: The Reproducibility Opportunity

Truth can sometimes be taken for granted in academic research: the use of a scientific framework to test a concept, followed by publication of the results in a peer-reviewed article, mean the output is often assumed to be right without further verification. But when attempts are made to replicate a study, it can be difficult to attain the same results and, when stories of research being irreproducible reach the general public, confidence in scientific rigour can be undermined. So, what can be done to combat irreproducibility? This webinar will outline the challenges and look at what can be done to address them, including new ways to support transparent research and replication studies.

This is the second webinar in the series, following Publishing Without Perishing (22nd May). It will be followed by Public Engagement with Scholarly Research (27th June).
