Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 1

Replicability is a central issue when discussing the reliability of scientific research that renews itself in the promotion of open science. A second researcher's attempt to replicate an earlier study is an effort to determine whether applying the same methods to the same scientific question yields similar results. … The post Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 1 first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Mapping output in content analysis in SciELO Brazil indicates a technique that is caught in a time warp

A scientometric review on the use of content analysis in SciELO Brasil showed a notable concentration of citations from Laurence Bardin's manual, whose use continues to grow. As the work has not had updates in the last two decades, we can say that the use of the technique may be caught in a time warp. … The post Mapping output in content analysis in SciELO Brazil indicates a technique that is caught in a time warp first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

VHL 25 Years: Achievements, Challenges and Opportunities

In 1998, the Latin American and Caribbean Health Information Network approved the Declaration of San José “Towards the Virtual Health Library”. 25 Years of the VHL development have gone by as a health information management framework for LA&C. There were many achievements and challenges that turned into opportunities thanks to coordinated network working and the availability of common methodologies and systems. We experience the advancement of digital collections, cloud storage, open science, open data, institutional repositories, open software, etc. Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at our doorstep and, more than a challenge or threat, it is an opportunity to renew the VHL model and celebrate its 25th Anniversary. … The post VHL 25 Years: Achievements, Challenges and Opportunities first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Among the numerous proposed alternatives, the opening of peer review is presented as the most feasible alternative. … The post Rethink peer review to make it sustainable first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Lack of sustainability plans for preprint services risks their potential to improve science [Originally published in the LSE Impact blog in March/2023]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, preprint servers became a vital mechanism for the rapid sharing and review of vital research.

Shuffle the cards and deal again

Research must be well planned, carried out correctly and reported in a clear and transparent way, as the reliability of the results depends on the rigor of the experimental design. However, in the published reports, there seems to be a lack of commitment by those responsible for assessing the quality of the research. Experts pointed out that the current incentive structures in research institutions do not sufficiently encourage researchers to invest in solidity and transparency, instead encouraging them to optimize their aptitude in the fight for publications and grants. Over the past decade, large-scale replication studies have shown that reproducibility is far from favorable in many scientific fields, and questionable research practices are becoming more prevalent. Clearly something is not working in the scientific enterprise. … The post Shuffle the cards and deal again first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.
