Development is happy to be a @reviewcommons.org affiliate journal, aiming to reduce reviewer burden and speed up publishing for authors. Read the articles we've published via Review Commons here: journals.biologists.com/dev/collecti... And find out more about the platform:

EMBO@embo.org

We spoke with four researchers who have repeatedly chosen Review Commons as a preprint #PeerReview platform for their own work. 🧪 Learn why they decided on Review Commons here: https://www.embo.org/features/why-i-chose-review-commons/ #LifeSciences #research #publishing #preprint

Research integrity is built every day through the choices researchers make, and through the environments that shape those choices. The first slide deck and video in the EMBO Resource on Responsible Research, “Research integrity: What is it and why should we care?”, are now available. 🧪

This is the first of four slide decks in the EMBO Resource on Research Integrity. In two weeks, we will be sharing material on “Supervisors: With great power comes great responsibility” Feedback and comments are welcome at policy@embo.org

The deck covers the core principles of research integrity, the grey area of questionable research practices and who shares the responsibility, from individual researchers to institutions, funders and publishers.

Whether you’re a researcher, trainer, supervisor, research integrity officer or institutional leader, you can adapt the slides and run an interactive session in your own setting or simply explore them yourself: www.embo.org/about-embo/r...

The focus is on everyday research life. Which daily practices support responsible research, and which undermine it? What can institutions, leaders, supervisors and researchers do to create an environment where excellent research can thrive?

The first topic is “Research integrity: What is it and why should we care?” More slide decks and videos will be released in the coming weeks: www.embo.org/about-embo/r... Feedback and comments are welcome at policy@embo.org. #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchCulture #ResearchSystem

The resource is meant for anyone who wants to run discussion sessions on research integrity and responsible research in their own setting: Research integrity officers, trainers, supervisors, institutional leaders and researchers.

Individual researchers can also use it to learn more about the systemic issues behind research integrity. The materials are designed to be adapted to specific needs and contexts.

Trust in science isn’t just an individual responsibility. It is shaped by the research ecosystem: The institutions and cultures researchers work in. What’s inside this resource: • Slide decks with detailed speaker notes • Explainer videos • A practical guide for running your own sessions
