Speaker
Description
Questionable research practices (QRPs) are well known and often discussed in meta-science circles—but how can we make them more memorable, understandable, and teachable beyond those? In this lightning talk, we present a set of 40 QRP Info Cards, each distilling one QRP into a compact, accessible format featuring a clear definition, examples, potential harms, preventive measures, and red flags – paired with fitting visuals drawn from meme culture, classical art, and public-domain imagery. By using familiar visual idioms, the cards are designed to be both pedagogically useful and easily shareable in talks, classrooms, workshops, and on social media.
The goal of these Info Cards is not merely to catalogue QRPs, but to foster education and critical reflection across audiences (e.g., students, peer reviewers, journal editors, and supervisors) with the ultimate aim of helping researchers avoid engaging in QRPs in the first place and equipping reviewers to better recognize them.
What we’d like to discuss:
· How can we increase the reach and visibility of these cards?
· What alternative formats (e.g., slide decks, zines, interactive media) would make them more adaptable to different teaching and training settings?
Feedback, critique, and remix ideas welcome!
