Our aim was to describe the research practices of doctoral students facing a dilemma to research integrity and to assess the impact of inappropriate research environments, i.e. exposure to (a) a post-doctoral researcher who committed a Detrimental Research Practice (DRP) in a similar situation and (b) a supervisor who did not oppose the DRP.

Methods: The suite of existing pandemic preparedness generic epidemiological early investigation protocols was rapidly adapted for COVID-19, branded the 'UNITY studies' and promoted globally for the implementation of standardized and quality studies. Ten protocols were developed investigating household (HH) transmission, the first few cases (FFX), population seroprevalence (SEROPREV), health facilities transmission (n = 2), vaccine effectiveness (n = 2), pregnancy outcomes and transmission, school transmission, and surface contamination.
Objective: To generate an understanding of the communication practices that might influence the peer-review process in biomedical journals.
Method: Recruitment was based on purposive maximum variation sampling. We conducted semistructured interviews.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers conducted a survey to understand why many authors don’t use the STROBE guidelines for reporting observational studies.
- They found that only 15% of the survey participants shared their thoughts, and discovered four main themes about how people view the guidelines.
- The study suggests that there should be better communication and support for researchers, especially those just starting out, to encourage them to use STROBE more.
