Introduction The credibility of qualitative research has long been debated, with critics emphasizing the lack of rigor and the challenges of demonstrating it. In qualitative research, rigor encompasses explicit, detailed descriptions of various research stages, including problem framing, study design, data collection…

We included any article describing a definition, a concept, criteria, or a checklist, guideline, or measurement instrument of quality spanning more than one quality dimension of clinical research in general or within a specific clinical discipline. We excluded any articles not suggesting a definition, concept, or…

Research institutions and researchers have become increasingly concerned about poor research reproducibility and replicability, and research waste more broadly. Research institutions play an important role and understanding their intervention options is important. This review aims to identify and classify possible…

Metadata are critical in epidemiological and public health research. However, a lack of biomedical metadata quality frameworks and limited awareness of the implications of poor quality metadata renders data analyses problematic. In this study, we created and evaluated a novel framework to assess metadata quality of…

Context: Tertiary studies are becoming increasingly popular in software engineering as an instrument to synthesise evidence on a research topic in a systematic way. In order to understand and contextualize their findings, it is important to assess the quality of the selected secondary studies. Objective: This paper…

Research is a critical component of the public health enterprise, and a key component of universities and schools of public health and medicine. To satisfy varying levels of stakeholders in the field of public health research, accurately measuring the return on investment (ROI) is important; unfortunately, there is no…

Recently, it has become evident that academic research faces issues with the reproducibility of research data. It is critical to understand the underlying causes in order to remedy this situation. Core Facilities (CFs) have a central position in the research infrastructure and therefore they are ideally suited to…

Purpose - The rising interest in the construction and the quality of (business) process models resulted in an abundancy of emerged research studies and different findings about process model quality. The lack of overview and the lack of consensus hinder the development of the research field. The research objective is…

The exponentially growing body of scientific literature has made manual synthesis and hypothesis generation increasingly impractical, introducing an essential bottleneck in the scientific discovery pipeline. While large language models (LLMs) have unprecedented capability to process and summarize textual knowledge…

Global university rankings have transformed how certain institutions define success, often elevating metrics over meaning. This study examines universities with rapid research growth that suggest metric-driven behaviors. Among the 1,000 most publishing institutions, 98 showed extreme output increases between 2018-2019…

Background While acknowledging that theory can be critical to scientific progress, we are concerned about instances of its tendency to encroach on, or replace, deep engagement with data in qualitative research. We discuss conceptual frameworks’ role in conducting and teaching qualitative research. Methods We address…

New nanomaterials improve our society. Understanding their effects on biological systems is of importance to improve our understanding of their properties and safety. However, reusability of previously produced data to help developing computational risk assessment tools is still limited, due to the inconsistency in…

To maintain scientific integrity and engender public confidence, research must be conducted responsibly. Whereas scientific misconduct, like data fabrication, is clearly irresponsible and unethical, other behaviors—often referred to as questionable research practices (QRPs)—exploit the ethical shades of gray that color…

We describe a collaborative research project spanning the disciplines of quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, conventional computational chemistry, synthetic medicinal chemistry and life sciences. Our project seeks to demonstrate an impact of quantum computing on human health. It is one of several funded by Wellcome…

In the past decades, increasing visibility of research misconduct scandals created momentum for discourses on research integrity to such an extent that the topic became a field of research itself. Yet, a comprehensive overview of research in the field is still missing. Here we describe methods, trends, publishing…

Discoveries of novel electrolyte-electrode combinations require comprehensive structure-propertyinterface correlations. Herein, we present an autonomous millimeter scale high-throughput battery research system (MISCHBARES) operated by hierarchical autonomous laboratory automation and orchestration (HELAO) which…

Conveying safety information to researchers is challenging. A list of rules and best practices often is not remembered thoroughly even by individuals who want to remember everything. Researchers in science thinking according to principles: mathematical, physical, and chemical laws; biological paradigms. They use…

Large language models (LLMs) have garnered increasing attention owing to their potential as collaborative assistants in scientific studies. However, adapting an LLM to specialized domains remains challenging because of the difficulty in incorporating domain-specific knowledge. In the present study, we propose a…
