UKRIO is pleased to announce the launch of its report, ‘Barriers to Investigating and Reporting Research Misconduct’. The report is the result of a 16-month long examination by our expert working group. Download via our website. zurl.co/zlqH #Research #UKRIO #Integrity

Colleague alerts me of new (?) kind of papermill product. Letter to editor about a trial published in a good journal. Written by ChatGPT (largely nonsense), author list and email addresses make no sense. Guess would show as a 'Lancet' pub on CV. Seen this before Anna Abalkina @abalkina.bsky.social ?

📢Exciting opportunity: 4 undergrad internships available ImperialCTU this summer. Suitable for students with an interest in healthcare research & a desire to work in clinical trials. Opportunities in both the statistics (x2) & operations teams (x2): imperial.ac.uk/clinical-trial…

I'm very grateful to METRICStanford for the invitation to give a talk on paper mills. Here is the recording of the talk. There were some questions in the chat which I answered in this thread 1/n

A colleague seeks examples of good Statistical Analysis Plans for non-randomised studies of interventions using routinely collected data. Any ideas?

Jack Wilkinson Relatedly, here's Stata's FAQ page on the cmdok option, in case it provides any additional useful information for your collaborator: stata.com/support/faqs/s…

A collaborator is trying to use biprobit with imputed data in Stata. Can’t get it working. Any advice? I’m not much of a Stata person, so can’t help much (I guess you could fit this in Stan and deal with missing data that way, but don’t think that’s an option here)

'Could you write something to correct statistical misconceptions on this topic? Wait...no...not *my* misconceptions!'

It is possible to search for protocols of studies funded by NIHR (using their document search). I can't find anything equivalent for MRC. Does anyone have any ideas?

Please share widely with everyone and anyone you know who is familiar with SAS!

Interested in meta-science? Come do a PhD with me and Malte Elson at p webber in beautiful Switzerland. Open topic although we focus on error detection (see ERROR) and flexibility in measurement & methods. Email or DM either of us for details. Topic ideas welcome!
