Journal Club: Doing good research should not be bad for your career
by LMU Open Science Center News July 5, 2021

July 5, 2021

Hello all, after a longer break, we are back and would like to invite you to the third meeting of our Journal Club “ReproJuicebiliTea”, this time on the topic: Doing good research should not be bad for your career (abstract see below). When? Friday, 09.07.21, 14:30 - 16:00 Where? Via Zoom: Meeting ID: 917 8852 1090 / Password: Replicate (https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91788521090?pwd=QmJPeEZLcGtYeGlmeGFnazVoUVFzQT…) Procedure: We will start with a short talk about the paper (around 30min) and then continue with an open discussion in which you can contribute your own thoughts and questions. As before, the Journal Club will consist of open talk sessions for discussing Open Science, reproducibility, and other related issues and will be explicitly open to all disciplines and institutions to create the most interesting interchange. However, we have slightly revised the concept and intend to invite the speaker(s) of the respective paper that will be discussed in each session. A short talk by the speaker is planned for each session and allows for direct interaction and discussion with the author afterwards. You will find a short abstract for the introductory talk by our first guest below: Daniel Leising (TU Dresden) will present an interesting preprint about how to change incentive structures in academia. In the next days, you will receive the preprint as preparation for this session. We are looking forward to seeing you soon. Your organisation team Laura Goetz, Stephan Nuding & Leonhard Schramm Doing good research should not be bad for your career Daniel Leising, TU Dresden Many of the now well-documented problems with research integrity are rooted in the current incentive structure in academia: We earn rewards by publishing a lot, getting cited a lot, and acquiring lots of grant money. All of this is possible, however, without contributing much to scientific knowledge. The question of whether we actually help solve important intellectual or even practical problems is at risk of becoming irrelevant. Moreover, the current system is easily gamed by those whose motives are not primarily scientific in nature. Being diligent in your research may easily mean the end of your career. Given that most of our work is tax-funded, and tax-payers rightfully expect some credible return on their investment, I argue that we need a radical overhaul of our incentive system: Scientists need to be explicitly rewarded for doing good work, not just lots of work. ____________________________________________________ [cid:27102879-5864-4805-ADF6-B6C18F770E99] http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Unsubscribe<https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc> from the newsletter.

Data tracking in research: Aggregation and use or sale of usage data by academic publishers
by LMU Open Science Center News May 27, 2021

May 27, 2021

Dear list, in case you have missed this: The German Research Foundation issued a briefing paper about the digital tracking of researchers (and selling of that data) by academic publishers (see quoted email below). From the report: There is a risk that this shift in the commercial business model towards data analytics will result in the knowledge society becoming privatised, and that ultimately it will no longer be the public sector but increasingly private companies that are privy to knowledge about research content and trends, its institutions and stakeholders. Potentially, research tracking of this kind can fundamentally contradict academic freedom and informational self-determination. It can endanger scientists and hinder the freedom of compe- tition in the field of information provision. For this reason, scholars and academic instituti ons must become aware of the problem and clarify the legal, technical and ethical framework con- ditions of their information supply – not least so as to avoid involuntarily violating applicable law, but also to ensure that academics are appropriately informed and protected. This topic also has been covered in: * a recent comment in the „Frankfurter Allgemeine“ (in German): https://zeitung.faz.net/faz/geisteswissenschaften/2021-05-26/276e8404c41a1b… * a blog post by Renke Siems: https://elephantinthelab.org/when-your-journal-reads-you/ Please consider signing our petition https://stoptrackingscience.eu and join hundreds of other researchers standing up against this threat to academic freedom.

June 1-3: Online Conference "Philosophy and Methodology of Medicine"
by LMU Open Science Center News May 14, 2021

May 14, 2021

[News from our website: https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/online_conference_philo_med/index.html] Online Conference: "Philosophy and Methodology of Medicine" organized by Dr. Jürgen Landes (Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy) and Dr. Michael Wild (University of Kent) 01.06.2021 – 03.06.2021 When: June 1st to June 3rd, 2021 (each day starting around 09:40 ) Where: Online (Registration via e-mail to Jürgen Landes<http://juergen.landes@lrz.uni-muenchen.de/>) Language: English We are incredibly excited to announce an interesting online conference by the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP)<https://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/index.html>: "Philosophy and Methodology of Medicine" Idea & Motivation The claims of medicine have been supported by a wide variety of different methods, ranging from randomized controlled trials to expert judgement and mechanism-based reasoning. Miriam Solomon has therefore aptly characterized medicine in terms of a developing, untidy, methodological pluralism. But can philosophers help with this development? In recent years, philosophers of science have become increasingly interested in assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods employed in medicine. Some have defended the methodological superiority of randomized controlled trials, or at least meta-analyses of such trials. Others have challenged this superiority by on the one hand stressing the weaknesses of such methods in terms of their internal or external validity, and on the other hand emphasising the strengths of alternative methods, including methods involving expert judgement and mechanistic evidence. The online conference will bring together philosophers of science and medical methodologists in an attempt to make progress towards resolving these debates concerning the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods employed in medicine. Among others, the following topics will be covered within the conference: * Foundational issues in statistics in medicine * Bias in medical inference * Medical epistemology * Multi-agent medical epistemology * Mechanisms in medicine * Analogy and extrapolation in medicine * Expert judgement in medicine The conference is organized by Dr. Jürgen Landes<https://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/people/faculty/juergen_landes/…>, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy<https://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/index.html> and member of the LMU Open Science Center (OSC)<https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/index.html>, and Dr. Michael Wild<https://www.kent.ac.uk/european-culture-languages/people/1679/wilde-michael>, Admissions Officer for the Department of Philosophy at the University of Kent<https://www.kent.ac.uk/philosophy>.
