Reproducible Research Cambridge (RRCam) will be hosting Professor Dorothy Bishop for a talk titled “An unanticipated benefit of open reproducible practices: making life difficult for fraudsters”, and a drink’s reception.

Dorothy Bishop is Emeritus Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology at the University of Oxford and a prominent advocate for open science and research reproducibility. Alongside her influential work on developmental language disorder, she now challenges questionable research practices and promotes transparency and fraud detection in academia. See below for the full talk details.

Event details:

Abstract: Open science practices are often adopted with the aim of making research more accessible and reproducible. I will give examples of how such practices as pre-registration, open data and code, and open peer review can play a major role in tackling research fraud.
