Reliable research requires detailed protocols, careful data collection, and thorough reporting of findings and limitations. Pressure to publish quickly can lead to rushed statistical coding, inadequate model checking, and, in some cases, manipulated or fabricated results. Rising publication volumes strain peer review, while artificial intelligence makes it easier to produce papers and code outside a researcher’s established expertise. This talk examines how these pressures undermine research quality and argues for changes that make published findings more reliable. Detailed records of a projec

…that is reproducible and updatable, or living meta-research. In this talk, we introduce the concept of living meta-research, examine prequels to this idea, and point towards standards and technologies that could assist researchers in doing living meta-research. We introduce technologies like natural language processing, which can help with automation of meta-research,

Neuroscience research, characterized by intricate experiments and interdisciplinary collaborations, demands the implementation of project management principles for systematic planning and efficient execution. Here, we present a concise overview of integrating project management methodologies into neuroscience research, emphasizing the crucial and pivotal role of structured planning, team coordination, and resource optimization.Effective project management in neuroscience research follows a phased approach, encompassing initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Establishing clea

The event will comprise introductions of our speakers and how they came to be advocates for reproducibility in science, followed by a 25-minute discussion on reproducibility, including practical advice for researchers on how to improve their data collection, analysis, and reporting, and then 25 minutes o
