On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in Japan, with a nuclear accident subsequently occurring at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The disaster forced many evacuees to change particular aspects of their lifestyles. This study assessed the hypothesis that evacuation may have increased the risk of hypertension among residents in Fukushima. A longitudinal study examined data collected from 31 252 Japanese participants aged 40 to 74 years sourced from general health checkups conducted in 13 communities between 2008 and 2010. Follow-up examinations were conducted from 2011 through 2013. A total of 21 989 participants (follow-up proportion, 70.4%) received follow-up examinations. Mean blood pressure significantly increased in both evacuees and nonevacuees after the disaster, with greater changes in blood pressure among the former. The changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the evacuees and nonevacuees were +5.8/3.4 versus +4.6/2.1 mm Hg (
P
<0.01/
P
<0.0001) for men and +4.4/2.8 versus +4.1/1.7 mm Hg (
P
=0.33/
P
<0.0001) for women, respectively. Evacuation was associated with an increased risk of hypertension among men, and the age-adjusted hazard ratios of evacuation for incidence of hypertension were 1.24 (95% confidence interval, 1.11–1.39;
P
<0.001) for men and 1.05 (95% confidence interval, 0.94–1.17;
P
=0.37) for women, respectively. For men, after adjustment for confounding variables, the hazard ratio slightly decreased to 1.20, but the association was essentially unchanged. Blood pressure increased among residents, especially evacuees, in the evacuation zone of Fukushima prefecture after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Evacuation may be associated with an increased risk of hypertension among men in the 2 years after the disaster.

Our objective was to examine whether high blood pressure in the preconception period was associated with low birth weight (LBW) and small-for-gestational age (SGA) in Chinese women. Data were obtained from the China–US Collaborative Project for Neural Tube Defects Prevention, a large population-based cohort study. We included 43 718 singleton live births delivered at gestational ages of 28−45 weeks to women who were registered before pregnancy in 7 counties in southern China. Blood pressure was measured during registration by trained healthcare workers, and other health-related information was recorded prospectively. We used logistic regression to evaluate the associations between preconception blood pressure and the risk of LBW and SGA, adjusting for potential confounders. The prevalence of hypertension in the preconception study population was 4.62% (2019/43 718). The incidences of LBW and SGA were 2.33% and 5.05% for the hypertension group and 2.01% and 5.68% for the nonhypertension group. Compared with the nonhypertension group, the hypertension group did not show significantly increased risk for LBW overall (adjusted risk ratio =1.16, 95% confidence interval 0.86−1.57) or SGA (adjusted risk ratio =0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.73−1.09). When participants with normal blood pressure were used as the reference, the adjusted risk ratio of SGA for prehypertensive women was 1.13 (95% confidence interval 1.03−1.25). Our results do not support an association between hypertension or higher blood pressure before pregnancy and increased risk of LBW or SGA.
Art/Science & Big Data: Parts 1, 2 and 3
Authors: Knox Gordon
Published: August 2016

The essay materials abstracted below present a look at Big Data and a review of the role the arts play in the evolution of the human species and the collective, cumulative project of assembling scientific and artistic knowledge: Part 1: how art and science are similar; Part 2: how their approach to “knowing” differs and how together they create knowledge; and Part 3: how these systems of knowing apply to the transformations activated by the digital revolution of the past 25 years. In concert, art and science might enable a collective human response sufficiently resilient to survive the natural and cultural challenges ahead.

These essays start with the observation that art and science are the primary, interlocked and essential components in the production of human knowledge: Art and science are distinct and intertwined, two elements of a single compound. By the conclusion of the essays it starts to emerge that art contains the sciences by virtue of being the unmoored, radical vanguard in collective thought. In this sense, science is suspended in the arts; science is the crystalline forms that appear in the matrix of art’s critical, complex and enigmatic thinking. The arts work one step beyond the collective conversation we call culture, and from that place just over the perimeter, the arts compassionately and sometimes jarringly bring us along to see the view from this new spot. Within these cultural horizons, science is doing the hard work of making what we encounter “real.” These essays present the arts and sciences as parallel yet intertwined, like two components of a composite organism, feeding off each other to sustain a growing and adapting life form bigger than either.
Theologians “Moralising” Indonesia?
Authors: Saat Norshahril
Published: August 2016

After the fall of the New Order in 1998, the Ulama Council of Indonesia (MUI) has been in the limelight for many of its controversial and conservative fatwa (legal opinions). Formed in 1975 by President Suharto, MUI was intended to serve as an institution to manage and discipline dissent, challenges and defiance by grassroots organisations. However, recent writings point to its changing character: Its fatwas are becoming more conservative; it is more assertive and powerful; and its fatwas, particularly the 2005 SIPILIS (anti-secularism, pluralism and liberalism), are deemed as contributing to violence towards minorities. This article reassess the scholarly conclusions and media reports made about the relationship between MUI, the Indonesian state and society. Examining MUI’s attempt to define public morality as a case study, particularly its role in the 2008 pornography bill and efforts to “moralise” entertainment, the article argues that MUI is internally fragmented and weak.
Enacting Cybercrime Legislation in an Endeavour to Counter Cybercrime in Palestine
Authors: Abdelbaqi Mustafa
Published: August 2016

The rapid development of information and communication technology has increased the opportunities for criminals to commit cybercrime. As many countries, Palestine faces problems countering cybercrime from both the legislative and technical perspectives. Palestinian courts deal with the matter using one of two approaches. In some instances, public prosecutors choose not to prosecute the act due to the fact that there is no provision of law applicable to the conduct. In others, they adapt the related conventional provisions of the Criminal Code to the conduct. To counter cybercrime, the Palestinian legislature should enact a cybercrime law, which is compatible with the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, or incorporate the Arab Convention on Combating Information Technology Offences of 2010 in the Palestinian legal system. Legal reform is crucial, but not sufficient. Technical approaches, public awareness and ethical online education are vital as well. Meanwhile, the cooperation of the international community, as a whole, including the different formal and informal agencies in each country becomes necessary.

Published: August 2016

Accuracy of turbulence parameterization in representing planetary boundary layer (PBL) processes and surface–atmosphere interactions in climate models is critical for predicting the initiation and development of clouds. This study 1) evaluates WRF Model–simulated spatial patterns and vertical profiles of atmospheric variables at various spatial resolutions and with different PBL, surface layer, and shallow convection schemes against measurements; 2) identifies model biases by examining the moisture tendency terms contributed by PBL and convection processes through nudging experiments; and 3) investigates the main causes of these biases by analyzing the dependence of modeled surface fluxes on PBL and surface layer schemes over the tropical ocean. The results show that PBL and surface parameterizations have surprisingly large impacts on precipitation and surface moisture fluxes over tropical oceans. All of the parameterizations tested tend to overpredict moisture in the PBL and free atmosphere and consequently result in larger moist static energy and precipitation. Moisture nudging tends to suppress the initiation of convection and reduces the excess precipitation. The reduction in precipitation bias in turn reduces the surface wind and latent heat (LH) flux biases, which suggests the positive feedback between precipitation and surface fluxes is responsible, at least in part, for the model drifts. The updated Kain–Fritsch cumulus potential (KF-CuP) shallow convection scheme tends to suppress the deep convection, consequently decreasing precipitation. The Eta Model surface layer scheme predicts more reasonable LH fluxes and LH–wind speed relationship than those for the MM5 scheme. The results help us identify sources of biases of current parameterization schemes in reproducing PBL processes, the initiation of convection, and intraseasonal variability of precipitation.
One pillar crumbling, the others too short: old-age provision in Germany
Authors: Werding Martin
Published: August 2016

Responding to the challenges of demographic ageing, the German system of old-age provision has undergone substantial changes during the past two decades and is in fact still under reconstruction. Benefit levels deriving from the public pay-as-you-go scheme will decline until 2060, while contribution rates may still go up substantially. Additional cover from private or occupational pension schemes is urgently needed. Thus far, steps in this direction have been half-hearted. The continuing crisis in financial markets and a more profound distrust in financial institutions and market-based instruments of old-age provision currently create obstacles to progress with this overhaul. Nevertheless, despite the differing traditions, Germany could learn important lessons now from other developed countries that have longer experience of funded pensions.
Higher Doses of Fish Oil–Based Lipid Emulsions Used to Treat Inadequate Weight Gain and Rising Triene:Tetraene Ratio in a Severely Malnourished Infant With Intestinal Failure–Associated Liver Disease
Authors: Riedy Mary , DePaula Brittany , Puder Mark , Gura Kathleen M. , Sztam Kevin A.
Published: August 2016

Fish oil–based lipid emulsions (FOLEs) have been used to treat cholestasis in children with intestinal failure–associated liver disease (IFALD). When FOLEs are dosed at 1 g/kg/d, essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency typically does not occur. We describe the clinical course of a severely malnourished parenteral nutrition–dependent infant with IFALD. Baseline EFA panels were normal upon starting FOLE at 1 g/kg/d. Despite biochemical improvement in IFALD, weight velocity was below target and biochemical EFA status worsened, even after correction for other factors affecting weight. The FOLE dose was increased to 1.5 g/kg/d, resulting in improvement of weight velocity and EFA status. This suggests that in severely malnourished infants being treated for IFALD, higher doses of FOLE may be required for adequate growth and to prevent EFA deficiency.

Published: August 2016

Objective:

We sought to compare the length of stay (LOS) and total costs for patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) treated with either rivaroxaban or parenterally bridged warfarin.

Methods:

This retrospective claims analysis was performed in the Premier Database from November 2012 to March 2015. Adult patients were included if they had a hospital encounter for PE (an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision code = 415.1×) in the primary position, a claim for ≥1 diagnostic test for PE on day 0 to 2, and initiated rivaroxaban or parenteral anticoagulation/warfarin. Rivaroxaban users (allowing ≤2 days of prior parenteral therapy) were 1:1 propensity score matched to patients receiving parenterally bridged warfarin. Length of stay, total costs, and readmission for venous thromboembolism (VTE) or major bleeding during the same or subsequent 2 months following the index event were compared between cohorts. Analysis restricted to patients with low-risk PE was also performed.

Results:

Characteristics of the matched PE cohorts (n = 3466 per treatment) were well balanced. Rivaroxaban use was associated with a 1.36-day shorter LOS and $2304 reduction in total costs compared to parenterally bridged warfarin ( P < .001 for both). Rates of readmission for VTE were similar between cohorts (1.7% vs 1.6%; P = .64). No difference was observed between treatments for readmission for major bleeding (0.2% vs 0.2%; P > .99). In analyses restricted to low-risk patients (n = 1551 per treatment), rivaroxaban was associated with a 1.01-day and a $1855 reduction in LOS and costs, respectively ( P < .001 for both). Rates of readmission were again similar between treatments ( P > .56 for all).

Conclusion:

Rivaroxaban significantly reduced hospital LOS and costs compared to parenterally bridged warfarin, without increasing the risk of readmission.
Reduction, alignment and visualisation of large diverse sequence families
Authors: Taylor William R.
Published: August 2016

Background

Current volumes of sequence data can lead to large numbers of hits identified on a search, typically in the range of 10s to 100s of thousands. It is often quite difficult to tell from these raw results whether the search has been a success or has picked-up sequences with little or no relationship to the query. The best approach to this problem is to cluster and align the resulting families, however, existing methods concentrate on fast clustering and either do not align the sequences or only perform a limited alignment.

Results

A method () is presented that combines fast peptide-based pre-sorting with a following cascade of mini-alignments, each of which are generated with a robust profile/profile method. From these mini-alignments, a representative sequence is selected, based on a variety of intrinsic and user-specified criteria that are combined to produce the sequence collection for the next cycle of alignment. For moderate sized sequence collections (10s of thousands) the method executes on a laptop computer within seconds or minutes.

Conclusions

bridges a gap between fast clustering methods and slower multiple sequence alignment methods and provides a seamless transition from one to the other. Furthermore, it presents the resulting reduced family in a graphical manner that makes it clear if family members have been misaligned or if there are sequences present that appear inconsistent.

Authors: Pamfilov Evgeny A , Braginets Sergey V. , Alferov Alexander S. , Gaydash MarinaV. . , Stepanova Yuliya V.
Published: August 2016

The work objective is to study an advanced way of enhancing the nutritive value of the mixed feed by co-extrusion of the grain mixtures with chopped green legumes that differ in high content of vitamins and protein. The task of this investigation is an experimental determination of rational parameters and operating modes of the equipment for the extrusion process. Standard techniques are used to study the extrusion process when the properties of raw materials and modes of the extruder EC-75 (75kg/hr) change: extrudable mixture humidity, weight percentage of the chopped green mass in the mixture, and the extruder screw frequency of rotation at different feed rate of the mixture. The residual content of β-carotene as a quite valuable but impermanent component of the received product is used as a key marker of the process. The restrictive conditions are organoleptical properties of the product, humidity after cooling, and occurrence of the undistorted grain material. Energy efficiency of the process is evaluated by the criteria of the specific energy consumption. The study results of the extrusion process are as follows. Its optimal characteristics are determined: mixture supply is 60 kg / hr, mixture temperature at the matrix outlet is 120-125°C, content of the chopped green mass in the mixture is 14-15%, screw rate speed is 220-240 rpm with the specific energy consumption of 90-95 kW hr/t.

Published: August 2016

The body of knowledge of the intelligent control system e-MindMachine of the multi-operation machine contains each tool condition data including its remaining life time. This is required to obtain conclusions on the possibility of the planned machining pass, the wear size value, the necessity to change cutting conditions during the operation in the fuzzy boundary strip area, etc. In addition to the previously described methods of assessing the initial and final values of the boundary strip time as an uncertainty state area, a visual method using a modification of Shewhart control charts is offered. The adaptive control charts allow tracking the tool wear progress warning of deviations from the requirements to the process. A program sheet with the appropriate control charts and examples of their usage for the assessing the tool state and forecasting the boundary strip parameters is presented. The dependences of estimations of the expectation of the wear size and scattering within the linear tool wear zone, appropriate velocity functions and a posteriori values for the future operation in the boundary strip area are described. On this basis, the timing estimation of the boundary strip head and end is predicted. The processing of the statistical control charts is performed by the MATLABStatisticstoolbox application package.
Investigation of power supply parameter effect on performance of vibrator meter with magnetic actuator
Authors: Тupolskikh Tatyana I. , Gucheva Natalya V.
Published: August 2016

The work objective is to study dosing accuracy changes of the vibration measurer with an electromagnetic drive powered by the industrial network. The previously obtained dependences of the vibration measurer performance on the vibration frequency, amplitude and direction of the magnetic actuator, and on the properties of the dispensed material are used. These relationships are obtained at the pilot plant with the stabilized power settings. It is found that the supply from the vibration agitator of the industrial network significantly (up to 5%) affects the vibrator meter performance deviation from the given one that may become unacceptable when dispensing the ingredients requiring higher accuracy. To eliminate uncontrolled deviations of the dispenser performance from the stochastic variations of voltage and frequency, a voltage- and frequency-stabilized supply of the vibration activator electromagnet should be used.

Monitoring technique for catalytic waste treatment by acoustic emission parameters
Authors: Gaponov Vladimir L. , Kuznetsov Dmitry M.
Published: August 2016

The work objective is to study issues of determining the hydrogen peroxide concentration. The task is to evaluate metrological aspects of the hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Alongside with a standard permanganatometric (analytical) method of determining the hydrogen peroxide concentration, a fairly new technique of the acoustic emission is considered. A new methodology of the problem solution developed by the authors is presented. The study has found that the hydrogen peroxide catalytic decomposition reaction is characterized by a strongly marked transient process at the initial stage. Further, the total number of pulses uniformly increases, and then the hydrogen peroxide concentration gradually decreases. The proposed method of monitoring the acoustic emission parameters shows high informativity and sensitivity. It is found that the spread in the experimental values obtained by the two methods is identical - 5 - 6% of the measured value.
Synergetic approach to study forming path stability of the end cutdown milling by side faces (case of high speed cutting)
Authors: Zakovorotny Vilor L , Gubanova Alexandra A. , Lukyanov Alexander D.
Published: August 2016

The work objective is to consider the stability problem of steady-state paths of the elastic deformational tool displacement under the longitudinal end milling. The authors analyze the case of high speed cutting in contrast to the previously discussed stability problems that analyze the case of slow movements for which the system parameters can be considered frozen in the equations in variations relative to the stationary path. In this case, the stability analysis must consider the linearized system in variations with periodically varying coefficients. With speeding-up the tool rotation in many cases there is a parametric self-excitation of oscillations. Therefore, the main attention is paid to studying the parametric excitation conditions of a dynamic endmilling system. It is shown that the parametric excitation condition is affected by the technological cutting modes, both the tool rotation frequency and the tool geometry which determines the matrix angular coefficients of the cutting forces orientation. Examples of stability areas depending on changes in the system settings are given.

Exploring Healthcare Professionals' Use of Narrative Mediation Approaches to Address Disclosure and Apology in the Aftermath of Medical Errors
Authors: Monk Gerald , Sinclair Stacey , Nelson Michael
Published: August 2016

Despite the overwhelming evidence that suggests that patients, families and health care systems benefit from offering appropriate disclosures and apologies to patients and families following the aftermath of medical errors, few health care organizations in the U.S. invest in providing systemic training in disclosure and apology. Using a narrative analysis this paper explores the cultural barriers in the United States healthcare environment that impede health care providers from engaging in restorative conversations with patients and families when things go wrong. The paper identifies a handful of programs and models that provide disclosure and apology training and argues for the unique contributions of narrative mediation to assist health care professionals to disclose adverse events to patients and families to restore trust.

Rewriting Institutional Narratives to Make Amends: The French National Railroads (SNCF)
Authors: Federman Sarah
Published: August 2016

In 1940, France, threatened with total annexation by Nazi Germany, signed an armistice agreement with Germany that placed the French government in Vichy France and divided the country into an occupied and unoccupied zone. The Armistice also requisitioned the rolling stock of the SNCF—French National Railways—which became a significant arm in the German effort, transporting soldiers, goods, and over 75,000 deportees crammed into merchandise wagons toward Nazi extermination camps. Between 3,000-5,000 survived. Of the roughly 400,000 SNCF employees, Nazis murdered a couple of thousand for resistance or alleged in subordination. Railway men who resisted the Germans also often has to resist their employer as well. After the liberation of French at the end of WWII, the company—not simply the brave individuals -- received France’s Medal of Honor for its alleged role in the ultimate defeat of the Germans. This medal, along with other postwar propaganda in the form of films and books, instilled a singular narrative about the company’s heroic wartime role. This narrative continued uninterrupted until the 1980s. Those who returned, along with the relatives of many who did not, increasingly challenge the company’s simplified wartime narrative. In the 1990s, lawsuits against the company began in France and continue through 2016 in the United States. In response, the SNCF made efforts to intertwine story of deportation with the company narrative of resistance. One key forum for this attempt was a colloquium held in 2000 at the Assemblée Nationale in Paris.That colloquium is examined here through the lenses of three forms of narrative analysis: structural, functional, and post-structural. Each analytic frame illuminates different challenges to that colloquium’s attempts at revising history through altering a mystified institutional narrative. Through the analysis of this case, the author establishes the power of these analytic frameworks when examining problematic discursive spaces that hold in place master narratives and limit moral work.

Published: August 2016

The Usage Dimensions of Open workgroup came together and considered definitions and priorities around its topic. From priorities, themes were identified. One theme included the character of research outputs and the actual research workflow process. The second theme represented economic considerations. Stakeholders were identified, and solutions consid­ered. Solutions included both short- and long-term actions.OSI2016 Workgroup QuestionWhat are the usage-related challenges currently faced by open efforts? For instance, open data is intriguing in principle, but in reality, making underlying data open can be problematic, con­flicting with the need for research secrecy (whether driven by the desire to be first to publish, or the desire of funders to hold onto data to protect future discovery potential), the potential for misinterpretation by other researchers, and so on. Publishing clinical trial data in open formats is also intriguing but would run afoul of many current consent agreements, particularly older consents. Open access is similarly challenged in some instances by a con­flict between which versions of papers is allowed to appear in open repositories. What is the value of archiving non-final versions? What is the range of issues here, what are the perspec­tives, and what might be some possible solutions?

The OSI2016 Peer Review workgroup focused on peer review in the context of open scholar­ship. The group agreed that greater openness and transparency would improve accounta­bility, minimize bias, and encourage collaboration, but did not underestimate the challenges of openness, nor the variation in readiness across disciplines and publishing mod­els. The group recommended facilitation of peer review outside the traditional publication process—for example, in the context of preprint servers and after publication—with incen­tives for broad participation. These incentives need to include a cultural shift in recognition of peer review as a valid activity contributing to career progression.OSI2016 Workgroup QuestionManaging the peer review process is one of the major attractions and benefits of the current publisher-driven publishing environment. Would it be possible to maintain peer review in different system — perhaps one where peer review happens at the institutional level, or in an online-review environment? How? What is really needed from peer review, what are the reform options (and what do we already know about the options that have been tried)?
The Moral Dimensions of Open

Scholarly publishing is currently undergoing a digital-era transition that provides both opportunities and challenges for improving the moral dimensions of this enterprise. The stakeholders in scholarly publishing need to consider the moral foundations of knowledge production and access that underlie models of scholarly publishing. This report identifies seven moral dimensions and principles to open-access scholarship and data.OSI2016 Workgroup QuestionDoes society have a moral imperative to share knowledge freely, immediately, and without copyright restriction? A legal imperative? Why or why not? What about research funded by governments? Corporations? Cancer research? For that matter, is our current mechanism for funding scholarly publishing just or unjust? What other models are there? What are the pros and cons of these models? What is the likelihood of change?
Preservation, Repositories & Mandates

Are we satisfied with the current state of global knowledge preservation? What are the current preservation methods? Who are the actors? Is this system satisfactory? What role do institutional repositories play in this process? What does the future hold for these repositories (taking into account linking efforts, publishing company concerns about revenue declines, widespread dark archiving practices, and so on)? Would new mandates help (or do we simply need to tighten existing mandates so they actually compel authors to do certain things)? And how do versions of record figure into all of this—that is, how do archiving policies (with regard to differences between pre-journal and post-journal versions) affect knowledge accuracy and transfer?

Repositories are a vital tool in modern information management and a key component of preser­vation and long-term availability. They are not well-suited, however, to the current chal­lenges posed by our information-rich society and the multitude of stakeholders involved in the modern scholarly publishing system. Strengthening repositories and standardizing preserva­tion processes are critically important. This challenge will require not only leading multi­ple stakeholder groups but also reforming multiple information systems, architectures, phi­losophies, practices, and more.OSI2016 Workgroup QuestionAre we satisfied with the current state of global knowledge preservation?

Information Overload and Underload

Information underload occurs when we don’t have access to the information we need (for a variety of reasons, including cost) —researchers based at smaller institutions and in the global periphery, policymakers, and the general public, particularly with regard to medical research. Overload occurs when we can access everything but are simply overwhelmed by the torrent of information available (not all of which is equally valuable). Are these issues two sides of the same coin? In both cases, how can we work together to figure out how to get people the information they need? Can we? How widespread are these issues? What are the economic and research consequences of information underload and overload?

Tied to [the] question of who should decide the future of open access, who should have the power to make changes to scholarly publishing practices? Do these powers flow from publishers, institutions, tenure committees, funding agencies, authors, or all of the above? All of the above? None of the above? What are the pros, cons, and consequences of different institutions and interest groups developing and implementing their own solutions (even the one-off variety)? Is federal oversight needed? Global coordination (through an organization like UNESCO)?
Research practices and assessment of research misconduct
Authors: Hartgerink Chris H.J. , Wicherts Jelte M.
Published: August 2016

This article discusses the responsible conduct of research, questionable research practices, and research misconduct. Responsible conduct of research is often defined in terms of a set of abstract, normative principles, professional standards, and ethics in doing research. In order to accommodate the normative principles of scientific research, the professional standards, and a researcher’s moral principles, transparent research practices can serve as a framework for responsible conduct of research. We suggest a “prune-and-add” project structure to enhance transparency and, by extension, responsible conduct of research. Questionable research practices are defined as practices that are detrimental to the research process. The prevalence of questionable research practices remains largely unknown, and reproducibility of findings has been shown to be problematic. Questionable practices are discouraged by transparent practices because practices that arise from them will become more apparent to scientific peers. Most effective might be preregistrations of research design, hypotheses, and analyses, which reduce particularism of results by providing an a priori research scheme. Research misconduct has been defined as fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism (FFP), which is clearly the worst type of research practice. Despite it being clearly wrong, it can be approached from a scientific and legal perspective. The legal perspective sees research misconduct as a form of white-collar crime. The scientific perspective seeks to answer the following question: “Were results invalidated because of the misconduct?” We review how misconduct is typically detected, how its detection can be improved, and how prevalent it might be. Institutions could facilitate detection of data fabrication and falsification by implementing data auditing. Nonetheless, the effect of misconduct is pervasive: many retracted articles are still cited after the retraction has been issued.

Main points

Researchers systematically evaluate their own conduct as more responsible than colleagues, but not as responsible as they would like.

Transparent practices, facilitated by the Open Science Framework, help embody scientific norms that promote responsible conduct.

Questionable research practices harm the research process and work counter to the generally accepted scientific norms, but are hard to detect.

Research misconduct requires active scrutiny of the research community because editors and peer-reviewers do not pay adequate attention to detecting this. Tips are given on how to improve your detection of potential problems.
