PubReading [337] - Training early career researchers to use meta- research to improve science- A participant- guided “learn by doing” approach - T. Weissgerber

Meta-research, or the science of science, is a powerful technique that scientists can use to improve science, however most scientists are unaware that meta-research exists and courses are rare. This initiative demonstrates the feasibility of a participant-guided “learn by doing” approach, in which a multidisciplinary, global team of early career researchers learned meta-research skills by working together to design, conduct and publish a meta-research study.https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001073 - 2021
