Research and its publication should be done with integrity, but too often ethics and research integrity concerns harm the successful dissemination of research findings.
This webinar in collaboration with AJE and Research Square addresses some of the issues that need to be dealt with before manuscript submission. Speakers discuss what are some of the best practices to follow when conducting research and communicating research findings and focus on key factors contributing to the so-called reproducibility crisis.
