Month: September 2022

We have posted our Brown Bag series for Fall semester on our RCR workshops page.

But this semester we are pleased to offer additional opportunities in September and October!

Please look at both the ORC Sponsored AND the “other learning opportunities” items which we have posted. This semester we cover topics such as mentoring, authorship, human subjects ethics, foreign influence and transparency.

The Brown Bag Seminar Series is an opportunity for the Clemson University community to better understand research integrity and research compliance related topics.

These seminars qualify for one hour of advanced RCR training.

Wednesday, September 14, 2022– How to avoid having to ask the question “Why was I not given authorship?” or, Structuring and communicating pre-defined requirements for student authorship on scientific publications: One example from an undergraduate neuroscience research laboratory.

How do we ensure that we give scientific “credit where credit is due”? Publication remains the “currency” of an academic career. But the criteria for authorship remain varied and the norms are still being debated. Many guidelines for authorship specify that persons who make “substantial” intellectual contributions, of various sorts, should be authors. But the primary issue today is to define the term “substantial contribution” and how to qualify it, quantify it, and communicate it effectively – ideally even before experiments begin. There are no easy solutions to this challenge. However, today’s talk will describe how one research laboratory operationalized authorship requirements, with some success, in the context of a structured program of undergraduate student mentoring.

This session is HYBRID. We encourage you to attend in person, at 413 Cooper Library. Bring your lunch and cookies will be provided. 

Presenter – Dr. G. Andrew Mickley is professor emeritus and founding chair of the Neuroscience Program and professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at Baldwin Wallace University (BWU). He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Psychology Department at Wofford College

Target audience – Faculty, staff, postdocs, and students

Location – In Person 413 Cooper Library (Scholars Lab)

Join us on Thursday, September 22 from 1:00-3:30 in the Scholars’ Lab (413) of Cooper Library to watch the NIH’s webinar “A Conversation with NIH: Diving Deeper into the New NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy.”

NIH’s policy regarding Data Management and Sharing Plans will be changing on January 25, 2023. From NIH’s own description, this webinar will “dive deeper into topics including privacy protections for data from human participants and justifiable limitations on sharing data.

Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to hear policy experts provide the latest information and to get your questions answered.” We will be live streaming this official NIH webinar in our space with snacks, and facilitating a discussion afterward for those that may have questions or concerns about the new DMS policy and relevant Clemson resources.

Please note that you are also able to register directly with NIH if you want to join independently or receive the recording.
