The symposium Doing Good – Scientific Practice under Review will take place at the Research Academy Leipzig and the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences on November 14 and 15, 2019. Organised by and for doctoral students and early career researchers, it takes a bottom-up approach to central aspects of Good Scientific Practice and Open Science in empirical research. It aims to examine current scientific practices and to offer a thorough view on novel perspectives regarding the publication system, statistical analyses as well as methodological and ethical aspects in scientific research.

Keynote lectures, held by Prof. Ulrich Dirnagl (Charité and QUEST Center Berlin) and Dr. Candice Morey (University of Cardiff), will provide the conceptual framework.

Workshops and hands-on sessions will cover topics like reproducibility and the replication crisis, statistical bias and p-hacking, and open data and preregistration and will encourage critical discourse, e.g. in sessions on ethical considerations and research integrity. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about recent developments and challenges in Good Scientific Practice and to transfer the knowledge to their own research projects.

The symposium will finish with a panel discussion during which current and future developments of Good Scientific Practice will be debated by experts who act as stakeholders of the academic system. The panel discussion will be open to the public.

Deadline for registration is August 15 and participation is free of charge! Find further information here.
