Erosion of Scientific Integrity - lecture

The NCU Faculty of Chemistry invites everyone to an open lecture entitled "Erosion of Scientific Integrity Fueled by Quantitative Evaluation Metrics," to be delivered by Johannes Gierschner (Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies – IMDEA Nanoscience), as part of the Faculty Seminar series. The lecture will take place on February 2 at 11:30 in the Faculty of Chemistry Library.

In his lecture, the speaker will address the highly topical and important issue of the erosion of scientific integrity resulting from excessive reliance on quantitative metrics in research evaluation. The talk will cover phenomena such as citation gaming, citation cartels, hyperauthorship, and the impact of a metrics-centred evaluation system on research quality, academic culture, and scholarly communication. 

The lecture will also be available online via Microsoft Teams (Meeting ID: 396 470 448 671 49, Access code: b4q6ox3X).

Following the lecture, participants are warmly invited to an informal discussion with the speaker over coffee and cake.
