DIAS Day Lecture 2022: The Dark Side of Science: Misconduct in Research
22nd June 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
DIAS is delighted to welcome the award-winning Science Integrity consultant Dr. Elisabeth Bik to present our 2022 DIAS Day Lecture.
The Dark Side of Science: Misconduct in Research
Science builds upon science. Even after peer-review and publication, science papers could still contain images or other data of concern. If not addressed post-publication, papers containing incorrect or even falsified data could lead to wasted time and money spent by other researchers trying to reproduce those results. Several high-profile science misconduct cases have been described, but many more cases remain undetected.
Elisabeth Bik is an image forensics detective who left her paid job in industry to search for and report biomedical articles that contain errors or data of concern. She has done a systematic scan of 20,000 papers in 40 journals and found that about 4% of these contained inappropriately duplicated images. In her talk she will present her work and show several types of inappropriately duplicated images and other examples of research misconduct. In addition, she will show how to report scientific papers of concern, and how journals and institutions handle such allegations.
Elisabeth Bik, PhD is a Dutch-American microbiologist who has worked for 15 years at Stanford University and 2 years in industry. Since 2019, she is a science integrity volunteer and occasional consultant who scans the biomedical literature for images or other data of concern and has reported over 6,000 scientific papers. For her work on science communication and exposing threats to research integrity she received the Peter Wildy Prize, the John Maddox Prize, and the Ockham Award.
This will be an online lecture. The link for the event will be issued on the day via an eventbrite email. Typically this occurs 2 hours before and again 10 minutes before the event is due to begin.
