What journalists need to know about research integrity

Never has it been more important to foster trust in scientific evidence than in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Over the past year, journalists have served as the key link between the experts and the public person, explaining scientific studies on COVID-19 in near real-time. Just as science has helped solve issues related to the pandemic, it remains of pressing importance to address a host of global challenges in health, as well as climate change and social injustice. And with an ever-increasing amount of misinformation, arming journalists with access to reliable resources – and the skills to challenge bad science – is vital.

Register today to hear experts from Cochrane and Wiley discuss the importance of research integrity and ways in which these organizations ensure scientific evidence is accurate, transparent and trustworthy.
