In the race to publish more papers, some researchers indulge in unethical practices, one of which is salami slicing. Salami slicing means fragmenting one study and publishing it in multiple papers. This practice is considered improper and can affect your career, besides being damaging to science. This SlideShare explains in detail what salami slicing is and why it is considered unethical. It also includes opinions of journal editors on the issue.

Reproducibility, preregistration, etc.: Making good science even betterAlex Holcombe
Reproducibility problems afflict many sciences, including psychology. The problems are, to some extent, rooted in the criteria for and process of scientific publication. In response, many journals, funders and professional societies have begun incentivising change. For example, study preregistration, although traditionally used only by clinical trials researchers, is becoming more common. In this seminar, you will learn how it is now used even in basic experimental psychology, and how you can take advantage of preregistration and other new practices to smooth your path to publication and dissemination of your work. Bring your laptop (optional), walk with me through preregistering a study, and also learn how sites such as Open Science Framework facilitate project management and collaboration. One object of this seminar is to spark discussion of how we can all make our already wonderful system of science even better.
In this talk I discuss how poorly designed, analyzed, and performed toxicological studies represent a type of scientific misinformation, and drive fallacies. I also discuss the unintended consequences associated with dissemination of scientific information without proper nuance, and reinforce the idea that science is self-correcting, but only through reproducibility and scientifically-driven critique. This presentation was given at SETAC SciCon2 (Nov 2020).
Fiona O'Donovan, Waterford Institute of Technology, Psychology Matters Day.
However, in recent years, concerns have been steadily growing about how valid or ‘true’ some of these claims may be. Criticisms about scientific rigour are causing turmoil within the field. In 2015, over 270 social psychologists published the Reproducibility Project. 100 psychology experiments were repeated to see if they could generate the same result. Almost two-thirds of the studies failed to replicate.
In this talk, I will discuss the hallmarks of good science and how misaligned incentive systems can derail scientific progress. While fraud is rare, selective reporting, cherry picking data and poor analytic procedures are not uncommon. A positive outcome of this crisis has been a cultural shift in psychological science. More sophisticated techniques and a move towards openness and transparency have changed the landscape of psychological research and we are in the midst of what some are calling a scientific revolution.

It’s important to remember that the impact factor only looks at an average citation and that a journal may have a few highly cited papers that greatly increase its impact factor, while other papers in that same journal may not be cited at all. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between an individual article’s citation frequency or quality and the journal impact factor.

This is an updated version of an invited talk I presented at the European Research Council-Brussels (Scientific Seminar): "Love for Science or 'academic prostitution'".
It has been updated to be presented at the Document Freedom Day 2014, during the activities organized by the Oficina de Software Libre de la Universidad de Granada (26th March).
I have included some new slides and revised others.
I present a personal revision (sometimes my own vision) of some issues that I consider key for doing Science. It was focused on the expected audience, mainly Scientific Officers with background in different fields of science and scholarship, but also Agency staff.
Abstract: In a recent Special issue of Nature concerning Science Metrics it was claimed that " Research reverts to a kind of 'academic prostitution' in which work is done to please editors and referees rather than to further knowledge."If this is true, funding agencies should try to avoid falling into the trap of their own system. By perpetuating this 'prostitution' they risk not funding the best research but funding the best sold research.
Given the current epoch of economical crisis, where in a quest for funds researchers are forced into competitive game of pandering to panelists, its seems a good time for deep reflection about the entire scientific system.
With this talk I aim to provoke extra critical thinking among the committees who select evaluators, and among the evaluators, who in turn require critical thinking to the candidates when selecting excellent science.
I will present some initiatives (e.g. new tracers of impact for the Web era- 'altmetrics'), and on-going projects (e.g. how to move from publishing advertising to publishing knowledge), that might enable us to favor Science over marketing.

There is an abundance of free online tools accessible to scientists and others that can be used for online networking, data sharing and measuring research impact. Despite this, few scientists know how these tools can be used or fail to take advantage of using them as an integrated pipeline to raise awareness of their research outputs. In this article, the authors describe their experiences with these tools and how they can make best use of them to make their scientific research generally more accessible, extending its reach beyond their own direct networks, and communicating their ideas to new audiences. These efforts have the potential to drive science by sparking new collaborations and interdisciplinary research projects that may lead to future publications, funding and commercial opportunities. The intent of this article is to: describe some of these freely accessible networking tools and affiliated products; demonstrate from our own experiences how they can be utilized effectively; and, inspire their adoption by new users for the benefit of science.

Calculating how much your University spends on Open Access--and what to do ab...Heather Piwowar
#NASIG2020 presentation
Librarians are working hard to understand how much money their university is spending on open access article processing fees (APCs), and how much of what they subscribe to is available as OA. This information is useful when making subscription decisions, considering Read and Publish agreements, rethinking library open access budgets, and designing Institution-wide OA policies.
This session will talk concretely about how to calculate the impact of Open Access on *your* university. It will provide an overview on how to estimate the amount of money spent across a university on Open Access fees: we will discuss underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend and give an overview of useful data sources, including Unsub.

How to Calculate OA APC Spend for Your UniversityHeather Piwowar
Universities are hungry to know how much they spend on Open Access fees. This data is important to planning transformative and read and publish agreements, forming library strategy, and understanding scholarly communication on your campus. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been easy to calculate how much your university is spending on Open Access.
Learn how recent developments in data sources and tools have made this easier during this webinar. We will discuss the underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend, and provide you with paths to calculate the Open Access fees paid by your institution. ALCTS webinar.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. who gets hired
who gets grants
which journals succeed
which journal innovations succeed
whether we publish in journals at all
whether we actually write articles
the whole structure of scientific communication
10. 1.
A major science funder believes status quo isn't the only
way to disseminate research, and traditional peer-reviewed
articles in high impact journals are not all that matters.
Other research products can be considered
first-class research products.
11. 2.
It signals this to all the researchers who apply to the NSF.
This is a big deal, because it moves the discussion
away from just OA advocates and open data tweeps
to all scientists. All scientists now get to think,
"hrmm, did I release a dataset that is as good as my papers?"
12. 3.
It necessitates a move away from journal impact factors.
The quality and impact of data and software can't be
evaluated with the journal impact factor.
Item level metrics and altmetrics are going to be totally
necessary for grant reviewers to know whether these
alternative products have made a difference.
13. 4.
Once we are in the grant review door with item-level metrics,
watch out!
Alternative metrics are empowering for innovations in
publishing. All the new journal experiments that are
springing up... eLife, Peerj, F1000 Research, PLoS
Currents.... are invited to compete, invited to help authors
make the case that the articles published in those containers
were impactful.
Very empowering for innovative journals, most of which are
OA. And empowering for dismantling the "article" yet further
into its component parts.
14. 5.
It demonstrates a willingness on the part of funders to
refine what they consider evaluation-worthy criteria.
Transformation is going to happen as major funders
encourage their applicants to brag about their openness,
and the impact that their openness has enabled.
63. thank you!
