Research integrity during the COVID-19 pandemic: Perspectives of health science researchers at an Academic Health Science Center

Elise M. R. Smith et al.

Summary: This study aims to understand if and how researchers have adjusted their practices and beliefs regarding research ethics and integrity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings show that while some researchers adhere to the status quo, more are willing to modify norms to address social needs and urgency.

Factors influencing the promotion and implementation of research integrity in research performing and research funding organizations: A scoping review

Rea Roje et al.

Summary: Promoting and implementing research integrity is the responsibility of multiple stakeholders in the research community. This research conducted a scoping review to analyze factors that impact the promotion and implementation of research integrity. The study found that efforts should be made at individual, institutional, and systemic levels to foster and promote research integrity practices.

Allocation of Opportunities to Participate in Clinical Trials during the Covid-19 Pandemic and Other Public Health Emergencies

Kayte Spector-Bagdady et al.

Summary: This article examines how hospitals can equitably allocate opportunities to participate in clinical trials during the Covid-19 pandemic, assessing the three main approaches in the literature: patient choice, physician referral, and randomization/lottery. None of these approaches are considered ethically ideal for the pandemic context, leading many hospitals to implement hybrid solutions instead. Practical guidance is offered to support those facing these challenges, along with an analysis of future options.

Challenges to biobanking in LMICs during COVID-19: time to reconceptualise research ethics guidance for pandemics and public health emergencies?

Shenuka Singh et al.

Summary: Biobanking has the potential to promote valuable health research, but ethical challenges arise when collecting, storing, and sharing human samples and data for research, especially during public health emergencies. Balancing the common good and the interests of biobank participants is crucial in this context to prevent exploitation and promote capacity building.

Patient consent preferences on sharing personal health information during the COVID-19 pandemic: the more informed we are, the more likely we are to help

Sarah Tosoni et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients were more comfortable sharing personal health information and expressed a desire to track its use and be notified of research results. However, their discomfort with sharing information with commercial companies remained unchanged.

Remdesivir and three other drugs for hospitalised patients with COVID-19: final results of the WHO Solidarity randomised trial and updated meta-analyses

Summary: This study presents the final results of the Solidarity trial and meta-analyses of mortality in relevant trials. The findings suggest that remdesivir does not have a significant effect on COVID-19 patients who are already on ventilators. However, it does have a small effect against death or progression to ventilation in other hospitalized patients.

An alarming retraction rate for scientific publications on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Nicole Shu Ling Yeo-Teh et al.

Summary: The global pandemic of COVID-19 has led to a surge in research publications, with an unusually high rate of retractions compared to other viral epidemics/pandemics. This serves as a reminder to uphold standards in work, peer review, and publication in COVID-19 research.

Where Does Open Science Lead Us During a Pandemic? A Public Good Argument to Prioritize Rights in the Open Commons

Benjamin Capps

Summary: During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, open science played a crucial role in global responses, with capitalist platforms leading public health activities but also facing criticism for their capture of public goods. The open commons is seen as a community of rights that support the public good, and unethical platforms should be excluded for the sake of maintaining public interests.

Equitable data sharing in epidemics and pandemics

Bridget Pratt et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of advancing equity through data sharing in epidemics and pandemics, alongside utility, solidarity, and reciprocity. While norms for equitable data sharing in such contexts have been identified, further development is needed especially in addressing tensions between utility and equity norms. Overcoming structural inequities in global health is crucial for achieving equitable data sharing in epidemics and pandemics.

COVID-19 Misinformation Trends in Australia: Prospective Longitudinal National Survey

Kristen Pickles et al.

Summary: Younger age, male gender, lower education level, and speaking a language other than English at home are associated with stronger belief in COVID-19 misinformation. Misinformation beliefs are significantly linked to lower levels of digital health literacy, perceived threat of COVID-19, confidence in government, and trust in scientific institutions. Lower institutional trust and greater rejection of official government accounts are related to stronger agreement with COVID-19 misinformation.

Challenges and proposed solutions in making clinical research on COVID-19 ethical: a status quo analysis across German research ethics committees

Alice Faust et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Research Ethics Committees (RECs) are facing a wide range of challenges when reviewing COVID-19 studies, such as social value, scientific validity, risk-benefit ratio, informed consent, independent review, fair selection of trial participants, and respect for study participants. Proposed solutions include improved coordination, modified consent procedures guidance, and priority setting across clinical studies.
