The Netherlands is going to ask all its researchers whether they have been involved in cases of misconduct or committed other mistakes, in an effort to improve the standard of that country\u2019s research integrity.\u00a0 It plans to spend \u20ac5 million, equivalent to R$18.2 million, to determine the extent of the problem and search for solutions.\u00a0 Responses from researchers will be protected by anonymity, but the consolidated results for universities and research centers will be reported directly to each institution.\u00a0 \u201cDuring the last 10 years, we have seen three or four serious warning signs,\u201d said Lex Bouter, a professor at the Free University of Amsterdam, one of those in charge of the initiative, according to the Times Higher Education website.<\/p>\n
One of these cases involved Diederick Stapel, who was dismissed from Tilburg University for fabricating data in several social psychology articles.\u00a0 The Dutch effort will also invest \u20ac3 million (or R$10.9 million) on studies to reproduce the results of research, especially in the fields of the social sciences and psychology, which have the potential to inspire the formulation of public policies.\u00a0 Most of the recent scandals in the Netherlands have involved research in these fields knowledge that could not be confirmed in later studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"National research on misconduct","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[230,234],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-229367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-good-practices","tag-ethics","tag-finance"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229367\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229367"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=229367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
