Seven years on, that hasn’t changed. In 2014, the OHRI launched the center with some internal funding, aiming to shed light on metascience, the use of scientific techniques to study the research process itself. The center now is home to an array of experts with various backgrounds, including preclinical researchers, clinical epidemiologists, social psychologists, methodologists, behavioral scientists, and metrics literacy specialists. The organization has three pillars: performing research on the subfields of metascience, developing a course to teach the subject, and conducting outreach about the topic to stakeholders such as universities, researchers, journals, and policy makers.

The center now is home to an array of experts with various backgrounds, including preclinical researchers, clinical epidemiologists, social psychologists, methodologists, behavioral scientists, and metrics literacy specialists. The organization has three pillars: performing research on the subfields of metascience, developing a course to teach the subject, and conducting outreach about the topic to stakeholders such as universities, researchers, journals, and policy makers.</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>Moher, an epidemiologist, says he first recognized the importance of training researchers on scientific best practices when he was working on systematic reviews in medicine and had to leave out large numbers of poor-quality papers.</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>In turn, the Centre for Journalology aims to improve science and make scientific publishing more robust and rigorous.</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>In late 2019, for instance, the center <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220228065337/https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03759-y" shape="rect" title="Predatory journals: no definition, no defence">unveiled a definition of predatory publishing</a>. To do that, center researchers looked at the characteristics of predatory journals and compiled a review analyzing papers about predatory journals to identify common characteristics of such publications. The center then brought together 43 experts, who engaged in 12 h of discussion followed by two rounds of revision and feedback to reach consensus: “Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.”</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>The definition “is quite important and a fairly impactful starting point for predatory journal research because in the absence of a definition of what these journals are, it’s really difficult to study them,” says Kelly Cobey, a social psychologist who is an investigator at the center.</p> </div> <div class="long-form-text-par-7 long-form-text-parsys parsys"><div class="speedBump section"> <div class="recommended-multiple-item"> <p class="speedbump"> <a href="/web/20220228065337/https://cen.acs.org/research-integrity/reproducibility/Research-research-gains-steam/97/web/2019/10"> Related: Research on research gains steam </a> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>The center is creating an online resource that it hopes will help people involved in publishing gather information about predatory journals. The center is also building a digital tool that researchers can use to authenticate journals they are considering publishing in, reading, or citing. “It would give them that information to make a more complete decision,” Cobey says.</p> </div> <div class="long-form-text-par-8 long-form-text-parsys parsys"><div class="quotation section"> <div class="article-quotation-full pull-left"> <div class="quotation-full-desc">Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.</div> <div class="quotation-full-sub-title"><b>Consensus definition of predatory publishing</b> developed by the Centre for Journalology (<i>Nature</i> 2019, DOI: 10.1038/d41586-019-03759-y)</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>Moher and colleagues have also played a key part in developing the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220228065337/http://www.consort-statement.org/" shape="rect" title="Consort - Welcome to the CONSORT Website">CONSORT</a>, statement, which contains a 25-item checklist for designing, analyzing, and interpreting randomized controlled clinical trials. The CONSORT statement aims to address inadequate reporting of clinical trials, a long-standing issue in academia and industry. It “has definitely improved the situation, but it is certainly not perfect,” Moher says.</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>Other reporting guidelines created by the center include <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220228065337/http://www.prisma-statement.org/" shape="rect" title="PRISMA">Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses</a> (PRISMA) and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220228065337/https://www.equator-network.org/" shape="rect" title="The EQUATOR Network I Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of Health Research">Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research</a> (EQUATOR) Network. “There’s a ton of evidence that inadequate reporting of randomized trials is associated with biasing the estimates of how good a drug or an intervention is,” Moher says. “That’s why we do it, because we don’t want to give patients and clinicians biased results.”</p> </div> <div class="long-form-text-par-10 long-form-text-parsys parsys"><div class="inArticleRevealAds section"> <script> $(".inArticleRevealAds").removeClass("section"); </script> <div class="inArticleRevealAd1" id="div-gpt-ad-2894946-1"> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-2894946-1'); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>The guidelines have earned the endorsement of a number of journals and institutions. “Hundreds and hundreds of journals have changed their instructions to tell people to use reporting guidelines,” Moher says. “That’s an impact.”</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>The center <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220228065337/https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-017-0927-0" shape="rect" title="Full Text">has also analyzed the core competencies required of biomedical editors to evaluate papers</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220228065337/https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.27.063578v1" shape="rect" title="A systematic examination of preprint platforms for use in the medical and biomedical sciences setting I bioRxiv">it has examined policies and characteristics of different preprint servers</a> in the medical and biomedical sciences.

He cites the need to gather evidence before suggesting any changes to the status quo. “We have the evidence in lots of areas now, and I think what we need to do is actually try to work much closer with policy people now,” he says. Part of that effort involves putting together an open-science dashboard to help institutions keep track of their own accomplishments and shortcomings in how accessible their research is.</p> </div> <div class="long-form-text-par-13 long-form-text-parsys parsys"><div class="speedBump section"> <div class="recommended-multiple-item"> <p class="speedbump"> <a href="/web/20220228065337/https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/i34/Industry-academia-improve-partnerships.html"> Related: Industry and academia can improve their partnerships </a> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>The center is also building collaborations with institutions to help them implement open-science practices. An example, Moher says, is the Montreal Neurological Institute, where the Centre for Journalology is auditing data-sharing practices and introducing an educational program to make data sharing the norm. If that effort is successful, “we’ll slowly start to introduce other open-science practices,” he says.</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>Moher says the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to how much time, money, and other resources in scholarly research are wasted. Cobey adds that the pandemic has also highlighted the poor implementation of open-science policies that already exist at the federal, institutional, and journal levels, largely due to lack of auditing of policies and of training for researchers. “People, I think, are well-intended, but they’re not aware of how to do these things better,” she says.</p> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>The pandemic has also pinpointed the need to engage patients, who are a key part of the medical and health research ecosystem. “Patients use knowledge to inform their decision-making,” Moher says. “If that knowledge is rubbish, biased, problematic, unclear, and not transparent—that, then, is a problem.”</p> </div> <div class="long-form-text-par-16 long-form-text-parsys parsys"><div class="speedBump section"> </div> </div> <div class="text-left article-content"> <p>Going forward, Moher and Cobey say, the biggest hurdle is attracting funding in this area of research, despite the fact that metascience could improve how science is conducted across many fields. They believe that agencies should be more willing to fund such work in the interest of getting the most bang for their buck. Moher asks, “Why wouldn’t a funder want to know whether what they’re funding is of the highest possible quality?”</p> </div> <div class="long-form-text-par-17 long-form-text-parsys parsys"><div
