The goal of this essay is to clarify positionality as an epistemological scientific concept and address related misunderstandings to help researchers assess whether statements thereof contribute to their work. Positionality statements can be useful …
Successful science needs deviant ideas that may challenge established norms. The last decade saw an unprecedented science-engineering project, with strict rules on preregistration, statistical testing, result-independent guaranteed publication, …

This article presents 10 research-based principles of instruction, along with suggestions for classroom practice. These principles come from three sources: (a) research in cognitive science, (b) research on master teachers, and (c) research on …
The open-science movement is driven by the desire to increase research transparency, accessibility, and equity in conducting, reporting, and sharing research. Because open science aims to enable access and inclusion, and because incivility impedes …
This repository provides resources for faculty and academic units to re-imagine faculty rewards and incentives, and in particular how faculty are evaluated for promotion and tenure, with the goal of maximizing inclusivity in science by changing how …
In a retrospective survey, 487 research projects approved by the Central Oxford Research Ethics Committee between 1984 and 1987, were studied for evidence of publication bias. As of May, 1990, 285 of the studies had been analysed by the …
Questionable research practices (QRPs) among researchers have been a source of concern in many fields of study. QRPs are often used to enhance the probability of achieving statistical significance which affects the likelihood of a paper being …
