SUMMARY:\"Research Ecosystems\, Cognitive Bias and Incentives\" Prof. Marcu

CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:RESEARCH ECOSYSTEMS\, COGNITIVE BIAS AND INCENTIVES\n\nThere ha
 s been growing interest in the question of research quality in\nrecent yea
 rs\, a situation amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. An\nimportant questio
 n is the extent to which research culture\, and\ncurrent incentives\, shap
 e the behaviour of scientists in ways that may\nnot be optimal. I argue th
 at one benefit of adopting open research\npractices is that these act as a
 n implicit quality control measure\,\nwhich may serve to improve the quali
 ty of scientific outputs\, and in\nturn the efficiency of the scientific p
 rocess.\n\nMARCUS MUNAFÒ is Professor of Biological Psychology at the\nU
 niversity of Bristol\, and Programme Lead within the MRC Integrative\nEpid
 emiology Unit. Together with Angela Attwood and Olivia Maynard\, he\nleads
  the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group\n(www.bristol.ac.uk/psychology/res
 earch/brain/targ/\n[http://www.bristol.ac.uk/psychology/research/brain/tar
 g/]). His\nresearch interests focus on causal influences on and consequenc
 es of\nhealth behaviours\, using approaches that include epidemiology\, hu
 man\nlaboratory studies\, and field trials. He is also interested in how\n
 current incentive structures within science shape the behaviour of\nscient
 ists\, and have an impact on the quality of published work. He\nrecently\
