The OBUA project cordially invites you to a talk on “Are questionable research practices a ‘basic condition’ when doing research?” with Prof. Jesper W. Schneider (Aarhus University)!

The event will take place in English via Webex on Thursday, March 30, 5-6pm (s.t.). Please register via this link.

Short abstract

The talk will discuss perceptions of questionable research practices and problematize the way in which we have tried to measure their prevalence. It scrutinizes popular perceptions and questions the usefulness of striving to have a category of practices labeled as questionable, providing examples from a recent large-scale study where some of the issues are addressed.

Prof. Schneider works as a meta-researcher at the Danish Center for Studies in Research and Research Policy, focusing, amongst other things, on questionable research practices and the perception of research quality. He is currently a visiting fellow at the Objective 3: Advancing Research Quality and Value of the Berlin University Alliance.
