Background/purpose: Unethical research conduct, particularly resource harvesting and neglecting knowledge holders, persists despite global regulations. Whether deliberate or unintentional, this outcome precipitates data exploitation, erosion of trust, and non-compliance among the individuals involved. The current study emphasizes the consciousness…

Using the method of medical biography, this article challenges some of the more treasured decolonial viewpoints on knowledge production in and from the global South. The biography in question concerns one of the leading cardiovascular scientists in the world with roots in South Africa, but whose breakthrough studies in medicine significantly…

Science seems to be flourishing like never before. However, science has become politicized up to the point where it has become the rule rather than the exception that dissenting submissions--i.e. manuscripts submitted for publication and research proposals submitted for funding that are critical of an accepted view or that propose a new view--are…

The media is crucial in managing public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic prompts researchers to design and implement fast, efficient research. They cause an infodemic in society by disseminating unprofessional and hasty information. This study examines the practical challenges of publicizing medical research and health data…

Transcripts play a crucial role in qualitative research in computing education, with significant implications for the credibility and reproducibility of findings. However, unreflective and inconsistent transcription standards may unintentionally introduce biases, potentially undermining the validity of research outcomes and the collective progress…

Graduate students in the United States are experiencing increased levels of anxiety, affecting their mental health and attrition from graduate programs. Yet, we are only beginning to understand how anxiety about specific aspects of graduate study, such as teaching or research, might contribute to this overall anxiety related to graduate study.…

Scientific publications, textbooks, and online educational resources rely on illustrated figures to communicate about molecular structures like genes and chromosomes. Published figures have the potential to shape how learners think about these molecular structures and their functions, so it is important that figures are clear, unambiguous, and…

This study presents the first comprehensive dual-database bibliometric analysis of game-based learning research, investigating its evolution between 2015 and 2024 through analysis of 34,125 documents from Scopus (18,487) and Web of Science (WoS) (15,638) using advanced visualization techniques. The findings reveal consistent field expansion with…

There is a consensus within the science education community that primary scientific literature is a legitimate and desirable educational resource. Moreover, critical reading of scientific articles is widely recognized as a key aspect of scientific literacy. However, university science courses rarely provide students with explicit opportunities to…
