Panel Discussion: Open, Honest, Excellent? The State of Science Integrity

Lonni Besançon, Yukari Ito, Eunsang Lee

This panel invites its panelists and the audience to reflect on challenges faced – in particular, by young researchers – related to scientific integrity, publishing, transparency in research and quality research practices. These can be especially acute when considering elements such as career pressure and expectations for early-career researchers. 

The panel will examine some efforts that have previously been undertaken to ensure science integrity and promote principles of Open Science, as well as how these might alleviate some of the larger difficulties. The panel will further explore possible avenues by which the scientific community can realistically begin to collectively address some of those challenges, in particular how young researchers can actively contribute to such efforts.
