Event Description:
FLEX # 676
In this workshop, we will use different ways of narrating the history of science to think about how diverse perspectives can be brought to the table. We will then use these historical tellings and re-tellings of science as a springboard to discuss four ethical issues in scientific publishing today—ethics of authorship and collaboration, data integrity, plagiarism and text recycling, and bias in peer review. Through discussions of these four ethical issues, participants will be able to explore changing norms for disciplinary knowledge-making, make science more inclusive in classroom and lab contexts, and prepare students for the changing world of scientific practice.
