📢 Summary: AWARE is a scoping review of Avoidable WAste in REsearch and a tool in development to inform academics, clinicians, patient and public partners, policy-makers, and funders on how to reduce research waste in health and biomedical sciences. AWARE aims to identify and analyze reported cases of research waste to learn patterns of their social, economic, and career impacts. Tools exist to track retractions and problematic papers, but there are few original investigations on methodological, underreported, and other research waste.
👋 Community: A Google Doc of the research proposal is open to public comment. If you would like to do a full peer review, there is a discussion space available to GitHub users, or feel free to contact us. Links to open peer review platforms will be made available here on researchwaste.info once the preprint is published. Thank you very much for your interest!
