SciLifeLab will host a webinar about responsible and transparent research on the 3rd of February.
What can a sociological framework from the mid-20th century teach us about today’s open science movement? Surprisingly much. This virtual seminar revisits Robert Merton’s CUDOS framework—Communalism, Universalism, Disinterestedness, and Organized Skepticism—and explores why these four principles continue to shape how we think about responsible and transparent research. The presentation will place special emphasis on organized skepticism: what it means in practice, why it is crucial for research credibility, and how fostering a culture of constructive critique can directly reduce avoidable research waste. The talk will also introduce practical examples of how these ideals can be operationalized today.
When? February 3rd, 11:00-12:00
Where? Zoom
Speaker: Gerben ter Riet (MD PhD) – Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) – Clinical epidemiologist, Open Science Advisor, Member of the Committee for Research Integrity (at AUAS), and advisory board member of the Netherlands Research Integrity Network (NRIN).
