In @bmj_latest -> "Developing and evaluating more appropriate, non-traditional indicators of research may facilitate changes in the evaluation practices for rewarding researchers" (bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m208…)

Check out @DanielleBRice__ @Dmoher et al's new article that reviewed biomedical faculty guidelines and found that traditional research practices (e.g, peer-reviewed publications) are incentivized while non-traditional criteria (e.g, data sharing) are not: bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m208…

Myself and the excellent @jonathanasterne wrote a blog post expanding on our recent paper.
The post aims to more clearly articulate why we should be cautious about #selectionbias in #COVIDー19 studies looking in hospitalised patients.
Here's a quick #epitwitter tweetorial:
There have been lots of studies looking at associations with #covid19 outcomes in hospitalised patients. But their findings may be misleading because of #selectionbias. Here's a blog explaining why. bit.ly/370jGvJ @Garethjgriffith @bristimtom @mendel_random #epitwitter

Today marks two years since the passing of our founding @CSMOxford and @EQUATORNetwork director, mentor, collaborator and friend Doug Altman. An absolute giant in the world of medical statistics and scientific reporting (with >500,000 citations; scholar.google.com/citations…)

A living mapping of ongoing research on interventions to prevent and treat Covid-19 @CochraneFrance @MIRORProject
A living mapping of studies registered has been developed in collaboration with @LIRISLyon. You can now filter studies by type of pharmacological treatment, registration date, study aim, severity scale + an interactive map of clinical trials per country: covid-nma.com/dataviz/

How can we avoid research waste during the covid-19 pandemic and plan for the future?-go.shr.lc/2Vsqo9I has several excellent points.
@CovidNma is a LIVING mapping of ongoing #COVID19 Covid19 research in REAL TIME.
Rapidity AND Rigor!

It doesn't matter how important your research is. If it isn't clearly and completely reported, no-one can judge, replicate, or use your work.
Prevent research waste. Use reporting guidelines.
New study shows poor reporting of "Prediction models for diagnosis and prognosis of covid-19 infection: systematic review and critical appraisal" (tinyurl.com/uuxncfg). Studies should adhere to the TRIPOD reporting guideline tinyurl.com/y4kxcm8n & tinyurl.com/y2mkd3tx

Spin is using language to, e.g., make results seem more important or useful than warranted by the design or actual results. @MonaGhannad from @MIRORProject is testing an editorial intervention to reduce spin with @BMJ_Open. #REWARD2020

Isabelle @BOUTRON1 is talking about simple interventions that help improve research at #reward2020. Emailing trialists to remind them to update their trial registry entry prompted some updates: bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g557…

Brilliant talk from @BOUTRON1 on improving reporting and the peer review process. Learned a lot and especially enjoyed the shout out to the EDA at the end!

40 years ago and still relevant today - "Statistics and ethics in medical research. Misuse of statistics is unethical", Altman 1980 (tinyurl.com/t8768so) - "conflicting results from similar studies can often be attributed to varying degrees of statistical competence"

A really neat evidence synthesis that highlights the 'burden' of research on trial participants - identifies many modifiable aspects that can be tackled by good design & planning. Info provision across trial still a big problem - we MUST get better bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.co…

New #research published by @BMCMedicine provides a detailed description of #researchburdens across the RCT process, urging movement towards #minimallydisruptiveclinicalresearch to improve trial participation experiences, recruitment and retention.
