Finally the first BOOM paper is out! More will follow! What an exceptional effort to bring consensus work to the next level, addressing key clinical questions, huge international scientific committee and strict evidence base! As a community we raise the standard, the process achieving improved consensus on 18 of 20 questions, bring together research groups to focus on solving areas of disagreement and we even had a great time doing it! This method can be adopted to so many levels and themes. Just do it! Open access at boneandjoint.org.uk

If research agendas are to shift toward more directly addressing societal needs, what changes in research culture are needed, and what would it take to launch and sustain them? On Dec. 5, at the National Press Club, Elsevier is bringing together key stakeholders, including our own Jennifer Luray, to discuss this important topic. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about how the evaluation and showcasing of research impact are evolving, as well as how the research process itself and the funding opportunities available are adapting to this developing strategic direction.

Can you name the journal in which microbiologist Alexander Fleming first reported on the antibacterial properties of penicillin? Or where engineer John O’Sullivan and his colleagues presented the image-sharpening techniques that led to Wi-Fi? Most of you can easily name the benefits of these breakthroughs, but I expect only a few would know where they were published. Unfortunately, in modern scientific culture, there is too much focus on the journal — and not enough on the science itself. Researchers strive to publish in journals with high impact factors, which can lead to personal benefits such as job opportunities and funding. doi: https://lnkd.in/evWsnq5g

🔎 The PT POIESIS team, led by Professor Marta Entradas and supported by Dr. Inês Carneiro e Sousa and Dr. Feng Yan, has just wrapped up an insightful interview study to investigate the views of experts on the science-society relationship and the role of scientific integrity and public integration in trust in science. 👩🎓 Six researchers in the fields of climate change and public health, and 11 mediators of the relationship between science and society were interviewed online. The interviews took place between April and June 2024, and lasted, on average, around 49 minutes. 🎙 The interviews delved into the crucial topic of building trust in science and here are the main discoveries: 1️⃣ From the opinions of the interviewees, the traditional media, through science journalists, play an important role in sharing cases of (lack of) scientific integrity, but the public shows little attention to this type of information - either because of their lack of scientific literacy or the high level of trust they place in scientists. 2️⃣ The mediators considered that science communication by researchers is a responsible research practice that can involve different activities (e.g. media interviews, opinion articles, podcasts, participation in educational programmes, etc.). Researchers considered communication to be an important part of their work, but not all of them see it as a priority, and some recognised the need for training in this area. 3️⃣ All the interviewees recognised the importance of social integration in science. However, the mediators and social scientists considered that public involvement should follow a true bottom-up approach, with involvement at all stages of the research process. The remaining researchers (natural sciences) considered that the public should be involved in only certain stages of the process. ❗ Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking study! #PTPOIESIS #Integrityinscience
