Popular scientific presentation on the ethics of digitalization

Scandalous publication behavior…

… in relation to the recent takedown of some seriously flawed randomized controlled trial (RCT) research on citalopram (an SSRI anti-depressant). Nice overview, with appropriate tangents, available from 1 Boring Old Man, discussing the original article, related methodological concerns from many decades ago, some practical ramifications, and subsequent elaborations. Interesting (and at times horrendous) stuff!

In the first and second posts, I have highlighted the effectiveness of the HONY blog in terms of evoking empathic responses from readers, as well as its ability to sidestep some of the problems inherent in photojournalism. For this and […]
