The article summarizes recent developments in scientific publishing, including NEJM launching a new public health report rival, a former NIH official's paper receiving an expression of concern, and a study revealing that 1 in 5 chemists have intentionally added errors during peer review, highlighting ongoing issues of misconduct and integrity in research.
The NEJM and CIDRAP are launching a new, free publication of public health alerts as an alternative to the CDC's MMWR, aiming to improve timely dissemination of outbreak data amid declining trust and operational challenges faced by the CDC's traditional publication.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has implemented a new data sharing policy to increase transparency in biomedical research, a move praised in a recent New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) op-ed. This policy shift marks a significant reversal from NEJM's previous stance, which had controversially criticized data sharing by coining the term "research parasites." The change reflects the growing Open Science movement, advocating for public access to data from government-funded research to accelerate scientific progress. The NEJM now supports the idea of a government repository for scientific data to ensure compliance with sharing policies and facilitate broader research collaboration.
