Training early career researchers to use meta-research to improve science: A participant-guided “learn by doing” approach

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Meta-research, or the science of science, is a powerful technique that scientists can use to improve science, however most scientists are unaware that meta-research exists and courses are rare. This initiative demonstrates the feasibility of a participant-guided "learn by doing" approach, in which a multidisciplinary, global team of early career researchers learned meta-research skills by working together to design, conduct and publish a meta-research study.
