Reimagining research culture

Abstract

We are reminded constantly — by funders, by policy makers, publishers and by researchers — of the need to incentivise a positive research culture. There is no question that we all want this, but how do we make it happen in practice? Changing culture requires a range of aligned approaches, a lot of patience, as well as creative ways of measuring whether we are moving in the right direction. In this Q&A, Elizabeth Adams and Tanita Casci, University of Glasgow, discuss their recently published policy document on F1000Research, which summarises the outcome of an event that brought together around 60 researchers, funders, policy makers, research managers and representatives from the publishing industry to identify the practical actions that promote a positive research culture; that is, one in which good practice and collegiality are the norm.
