Meta-Research Day 2019
The Meta-Research Center at Tilburg University is excited to announce the Tilburg Meta-Research Day on Friday November 22, 2019 at Tilburg University!
The goal of this day is to bring together those who are interested in studying or discussing the current state of academic research. To that end, we would like to welcome meta-researchers, researchers from other fields, but also people who are not primarily engaged in research like journal editors, science journalists, and scientific policymakers.
The day will consist of plenary talks by Sarah de Rijcke, Ana Marušić, and John Ioannidis, as well as two time slots with parallel sessions. In the parallel sessions people come together to discuss, plan, or work on a specific meta-research project. We invite researchers with a strong focus on meta-research to lead these sessions. The idea is to start with a short introduction by the session leader about the state-of-the-art in a specific meta-research topic. The session leader will then lead a group discussion about how meta-research can resolve pressing issues related to that topic. If you would like to lead one of these sessions, please send us an e-mail (metaresearch@tilburguniversity.edu) with a short description of the research topic you want to discuss.
