ABSTRACT:

Strengthening research misconduct reporting without eroding trust

Reporting on research misconduct is not easy, especially as a freelance science journalist. It’s like walking the tightrope above a pool of piranhas (who are also highly skilled in defamation law). This talk highlights how to support journalists in uncovering and reporting on research misconduct without undermining trust in the scientific process, scientists and our research institutions — and why you should!
