Meta-research and collaborative open science are the subject of a seminar at CiBB
On January 23, CNC-CiBB hosted a seminar by Gilad Feldman from the University of Hong Kong entitled “Collaborative Open-science and meta Research (CORE): Insights from coordinating an international team aiming to better understand and improve science”.
The seminar focused on metascience, research evaluation, open and collaborative science, highlighting the importance of aligning research with education and connection to the scientific community.
Feldman presented the international project that replicated classic studies in Psychology, developed collaboratively with early career researchers from around the world, and undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Hong Kong. The CORE project integrates good research practices and the open availability of educational resources, suggesting a model that can be adapted to other departments and, ideally, to other fields of knowledge.
The presentation also focused on how new publication models (in particular, registered reports) can help overcome bias in the research process, including cognitive biases (e.g. hindsight bias), and finally, how meta-science is useful for identifying target factors to improve research practices.
The seminar was organised as part of the ERA Chair EXCELScIOR project, coordinated by Paulo Oliveira and led by Tracey Weissgerber, researchers at CNC-UC/CiBB.
