Ethics and Pitfalls in Science Communication (lecture for students)
27. September,10:00 - 11:30
The World Wide Web offers easy access to information but also presents pitfalls. We will present unethical practices in electronic publishing, such as predatory journals, plagiarism, predatory metrics, and deceptive conferences. We will answer questions about how to recognise these practices and why it is not advisable to engage with them or use their resources. We will emphasise the importance of ethical behaviour in scientific communication and its impact on trust in science and the lack of critical thinking.
