The Declaration to Improve Health Research

You know when a reporting guideline was needed when it gets >2k views in less than 1 week after publication! Thank you @PLOSMedicine for publishing the @accordstatement! journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a… @EQUATORNetwork @Blazey85 @Ezzoef @ChrisW_PharmaG @teranesian

🌟 New letter publication in @BJGPjournal with @chrisdc77🌟 We discuss benefits & challenges of implementing Registered Reports in medicine, my own experiences publishing RR in BJGP, & new initiatives such as @PCI_RegReports. Check it out here 👉 bjgp.org/content/74/739…

Oxford folks! Sign-up for my Open Science training if you'd like to learn more about making your research more transparent and robust! Or pass along to anyone you think might be interested!

ICYMI: The UK government needs to rethink its deeply flawed plan for making industry payments for medical research and clinicians "transparent" -> current plan simply will not work transparimed.org/single-post/uk… #transparency #UK

Making the UK a science 'super-power' calls for streamlining the research system, not just £££s. Three recent reports set out how, but full implementation is vital: tinyurl.com/ka5x3yp4 @ukrepro @CebmOxford @JessButler284 @chrisdc77 @bengoldacre @senseaboutsci @consiliumsci

Superb editorial by @KamranAbbasi. 🙏 @bmj_latest. « A commitment to act on data sharing. » bmj.com/cgi/content/fu…

Free access: Published registered reports are rare, limited to one journal group, and inadequate for randomized controlled trials in the clinical field. authors.elsevier.com/c/1hQ5X3BcJQEc…

How can we make data sharing a practice with real impact and not just wishful thinking? @NaudetFlorian bmj.com/content/382/bm…

DELIGHTED to see the BMJ @bmj_latest saying today that they will require papers to share their code. bmj.com/content/382/bm… HUGE milestone for reproducibility, quality, and efficiency. Here's our BMJ editorial on why code sharing matters, from 2019: bmj.com/content/367/bm…

Superb journalism in El País today Manuel Ansede looked at the publications of Spain's top academics and found scams upon scams He didn't find a few bad apples, but institutionalised cheating for metrics english.elpais.com/science-tech/2…

A perfect illustration of why clinical trial registration needs an upgrade to a full #RegisteredReports model. @RegReports There are some logistical challenges, but they are solvable. The alternative is this👇 cc @eturnermd1

"Objecting to this grotesque situation shouldn’t be an ideological issue, by the way. There’s something here to hate for everybody."

In summary, this is an important, accessible, report that highlights out specific actions to address problems in research. It offers opportunity to push for improvement and deliver the research system we could have. Well done to @CommonsSITC team and all who submitted evidence

Finally, wonderful to see submission from our team quoted in the report bit.ly/3RSnqqe @NDevito1 @patlogullo @KellyElizaLloyd @JessButler284
