INSPECT-SR – a tool for assessing the trustworthiness of randomized controlled trials – has been published today in @bmj.com, giving researchers a structured way to identify problematic studies before they're included in systematic reviews.
All topics so close to the heart, it has been a real pleasure chairing the session. Thank you to all speakers for sharing your insights into #openscience, #researchintegrity, and what is happening, good and bad, in the ecosystem of science!
