The state of null results: a new survey of researchers “Researchers need access to both ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ results to fully understand a research topic. Yet the scientific community appears to have created a research environment where researchers either feel little point in writing up null results and/or struggle to publish such findings. This means that, due to a lack of awareness, many researchers are wasting time, effort, and funding by duplicating research that is later proven to be negative as well as not sharing data that may challenge published findings.” Read the whole interview with Ritu Dhand, Chief Scientific Officer at Springer Nature: http://spklr.io/6049BESaF

Ideally, research labs should be devoid of pressures from national politics or international conflict: places where students, researchers and technicians keep experiments running and discoveries flowing. Distressing events, however, can affect lab members more than a principal investigator (PI) might realize. For this Nature Career Feature, award-winning mentors share best practice to keep your team going amid political upheavals, economic downturns and other events: http://spklr.io/6048B13DE

In 2020 five major publishers came together with a shared goal: to simplify and streamline access to academic content. The result was GetFTR, a service designed to signal full-text availability and help researchers reach the version-of-record quickly and easily. GetFTR (Get Full Text Research) has evolved significantly over the last 5 years. Here is what is has delivered – and what's next: http://spklr.io/6042BECek

📄New white paper: The state of null results Globally, the scale of research published is roughly three times larger than it was 30 years ago. Yet an estimated €26 billion in Europe is wasted in any one year by research that is conducted but not shared by publication. Springer Nature’s new white paper, based on responses from 11,000 researchers across 166 countries, is the first large-scale look at why ‘null results’ are not getting published, and why this needs to change. 👉 Read the white paper: http://spklr.io/6043BESvT
