9:00 – 10:00: PANEL 6: Shaping the Future: Addressing Questionable Research Practices for Responsible Research

In an intensely competitive research environment, alongside the well-known “Publish or Perish” phenomenon in academia, the credibility of academic scholarship has been under threat. These challenges diminish confidence in the reliability of published research outcomes, fostering questionable research practices that can escalate to fraud in extreme cases. Recognising these issues, the panel aims not only to stimulate a discussion about those prevalent practices but also to take a forward-looking perspective, reinforcing the credibility of academic work, particularly in the digitalised scholarship.
