Integrity: Supporting robust interpretations
Introduction
Researchers are human, and humans have their own experiences, perspectives, values, and biases. For this reason, we must be alert to the possibility that any individual researcher’s observations could be influenced by their position.
In Week 3, you looked at the principle of integrity in open research: you will finish your consideration of integrity in Week 5. You will learn how to protect yourself from unintended bias, spot the signs of flimsy analysis, and scrutinise the robustness of your own research. By the end of this week, you will have a toolkit of techniques which you can use to support the integrity of your research.
