Publishing the results of scholarly research in peer-reviewed journal articles is one of the most common ways researchers get recognition and credit for their work. Yet longstanding scholarly communication practices and academic reward structures perpetuate the publishing of results that cannot be reproduced. We'll learn about transformations to publishing and peer review and how they contribute to the reproducibility of published results. Please register below.
