Crisis In Psychology

“Open Science” encourages researchers to improve the reliability, repeatability and reproducibility of results. While stemming from the reproducibility crisis in psychology, open science is relevant for all fields. In education research these practices include pre-registering experimental designs, sharing analyses where appropriate, and pre-printing research report. How can veterinary education implement these lessons? In this short report accompanying the ‘Open Science for VetEd’ workshop, hosted at the VetEd 2021 Annual Conference, I discuss what opportunities open science presents for veterinary education researchers.

Nitrate And Nitrite

Abstract The 1-naphthylazo-naphthylamine method for nitrate and nitrite, reported in 1965, was subjected to specific experiments statistically designed to determine more precisely the precision of the method. Experimental designs included the following: standard nitrite curve, stability of 1-naphthylazo- naphthylamino dye, reduction of nitrate to nitrite by the cadmium column, reproducibility of results comparing natural foodstuffs with pure solutions, and collaborative study on food samples. The statistical data obtained indicate that the method is consistent and precise

The Impact

The VetEd conference was developed with the aim of growing an educational community by providing an opportunity to share ideas, innovations, research, and best practices in veterinary education in a friendly, affordable, and inclusive environment. The annual conference has been hosted by the veterinary schools in the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands, becoming the official conference of the Veterinary Schools Council in 2017. The current study investigates the extent to which the development of the conference has contributed to the evolution of a community of practice. The conference proceedings’ abstracts were analyzed to identify trends in number, type, and author information. This was complemented by oral histories exploring the impact of VetEd on developing the veterinary education community. The number of abstracts has increased from 40 (2010) to 137 (2018), and these are predominantly posters, with the major themes being technology-enhanced learning, clinical skills, and assessment. The authors have been increasingly international, representing 8 countries in 2010 and 22 in 2018. Nine interviews were undertaken with those involved in organizing VetEd. The inclusivity of the conference and the engagement of a wide variety of delegate groups are key themes that emerged. Concerns emerged around the organizational challenges and the potential for the conference to outgrow the founding principles in the future. VetEd has become a key event in the annual calendar and represents an initiative that has contributed to the ongoing development of the veterinary education community.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to explore international adult education research in the context of predatory publishing or predatory journals. The paper presents empirical characteristics of predatory journals, determines the quantitative occurrence of predatory journals in the field of adult education by means of a catalogue of criteria, takes a closer look at the authors of adult education contributions identified, and examines the content and quality of the contributions. The article deals with the phenomenon of predatory publishing, an unintended side effect of the Open Access movement, and thus operates in the context of Open Science.

Science Framework

In the midst of the current reproducibility crisis in psychology, pre-registration is considered a remedy to increase the reliability of psychological research. However, as pre-registration is an unconventional practice for most psychological researchers, they find it difficult to introduce pre-registration into their studies. In order to promote pre-registration, this article provides a detailed and practical step-by-step tutorial for beginners on pre-registration with the Open Science Framework. Furthermore, a typical example of the practical experience of beginners and its revisions are provided as supplementary material. Finally, we discuss various issues related to pre-registration, such as transparent research, registered reports, preprints, and open science education. We hope that this article will contribute to the improvement of reproducible psychological science in Japan.
