COI works both ways: Investigation of misconduct by an independent research integrity organization is the way to go
Account Res. 2024 Mar 10:1-3. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2328595. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResnik, Hosseini and Rasmussen's take on universities having conflict of interest (COI), and should engage an independent research integrity organization in investigating research misconduct (RM) allegations against top officials, is prudent and timely. COI could be conceived either against or for in the processes toward the conviction of a respondent. For the latter, we need look no further than another recent Harvard case involving Francesca Gino.PMID:38461464 | DOI:10.1080/08989621.2024.2328595 (Source: Accountability in Research)

Medical research without patents: It's preferable, it's profitable, and it's practicable
This article addresses the question of the possibility of medical research without patents, a major issue in healthcare research and policy. We discuss and evaluate the relevant scientific, economic, societal, and moral aspects of our system of funding and organizing the research, development, manufacture and sale of prescription drugs. The focus is on the patent practices of big pharmaceutical companies. We analyze and critically assess the main features and impacts of these practices. In a positive sense, we propose an approach to organizing and funding drug research that prioritizes its public interest rather than its p...

Group authorship, an excellent opportunity laced with ethical, legal and technical challenges
Account Res. 2024 Mar 6:1-23. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2322557. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGroup authorship (also known as corporate authorship, team authorship, consortium authorship) refers to attribution practices that use the name of a collective (be it team, group, project, corporation, or consortium) in the authorship byline. Data shows that group authorships are on the rise but thus far, in scholarly discussions about authorship, they have not gained much specific attention. Group authorship can minimize tensions within the group about authorship order and the criteria used for inclusion/exclusion of individual...

Mega-authorship implications: How many scientists can fit into one cell?
Account Res. 2024 Mar 5:1-24. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2318790. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe past 20 years has seen a significant increase in articles with 500 or more authors. This increase has presented problems in terms of determining true authorship versus other types of contribution, issues with database metadata and data output, and publication length. Using items with 500+ authors deemed as mega-author titles, a total of 5,533 mega-author items were identified using InCites. Metadata about the items was then gathered from Web of Science and Scopus. Close examination of these items found that the vast majority...

Responding to research misconduct allegations brought against top university officials
Account Res. 2024 Feb 27:1-6. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2321179. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInvestigating research misconduct allegations against top officials can create significant conflicts of interest (COIs) for universities that may require changes to existing oversight frameworks. One way of addressing some of these challenges is to develop policies and procedures that specifically address investigation of allegations of misconduct involving top university officials. Steps can also be taken now regardless of whether such a body is created. Federal and university research misconduct regulations and policies may ne...
