Can Academic Fraud Be Stopped? (Update)

We feel like when we're in cultures that there is no way for any of us to change the culture. It's a culture. My God, how could we change it? But we also recognize that cultures are created by the people that comprise them. And the notion that we collectively can actually do something to shift the research culture, I think, has spread.

Yeah, it's based on the academic reward system. Publication is the currency of advancement. I need publications to have a career, to advance my career, to get promoted. And so the work that I do that leads to publication, I have a very strong sense of, oh my gosh, if others now have control of this, my ideas, my data, my designs, my solutions, then I will disadvantage my career.

I asked Nosik how he thinks this culture can be changed. So, for example, we have to make it easy for researchers to be more transparent with their work. If it's really hard to share your data, then adding on that extra work is going to slow down my progress. We have to make it normative. People have to be able to see that others in their community are doing this. They're being more transparent.

They're being more rigorous so that instead of us saying, oh, that's great ideals and nobody does it, you say, oh, there's somebody over there that's doing it. Oh, maybe I could do it too. We have to deal with the incentives. Is it actually relevant for my advancement in my career to be transparent, to be rigorous, to be reproducible? And then we have to address the policy framework.

If it's not embedded in how it is that funders decide who to fund, institutions decide who to hire, journals to decide what to publish, then it's not going to be internally and completely embedded in the system.

Yeah, so the idea is you register your designs and you've made that commitment in advance. And then as you're carrying out the research, if things change along the way, which happens all the time, you can update that registration. You can say, here's what's changing. We didn't anticipate that going into this community was going to be so hard and here's how we had to adapt. That's fine.
