Meeting Description:

4REAL Workshop
Workshop on Research Results Reproducibility and Resources Citation in Science
and Technology of Language

28 May 2016
Portorož, Slovenia

Collocated with LREC2016 
10th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference 
http://lrec2016.lrec-conf.org

The discussion on research integrity has grown in importance as the resources
allocated to and societal impact of scientific activities have been expanding
(e.g. Stodden, 2013, Aarts et al., 2015), to the point that it has recently
crossed the borders of the research world and made its appearance in important
mass media and was brought to the attention of the general public (e.g. Nail
and Gautam, 2011, Zimmer, 2012, Begley and Sharon 2012, The Economist, 2013).

The immediate motivation for this increased interest is to be found in a
number of factors, including the realization that for some published results,
their replication is not being obtained (e.g. Prinz et al., 2011; Belgley and
Ellis, 2012); that there may be problems with the commonly accepted reviewing
procedures, where deliberately falsified submissions, with fabricated errors
and fake authors, get accepted even in respectable journals (e.g. Bohannon,
2013); that the expectation of researchers vis a vis misconduct, as revealed
in inquiries to scientists on questionable practices, scores higher than one
might expect or would be ready to accept (e.g. Fanelli, 2009); among several
others.

Making justice to and building on the inherent ethos of scientific inquiry,
this issue has been under thorough inquiry leading to a scrutiny on its
possible immediate causes and underlying factors, and to initiatives to
respond to its challenge, namely by the setting up of dedicated conferences
(e.g. WCRI – World Conference on Research Integrity), dedicated journals (e.g.
RIPR – Research Integrity and Peer review), support platforms (e.g. COS –
Center for Open Science), revised and more stringent procedures (e.g. Nature,
2013), batch replication studies (e.g. Aarts et al, 2015), investigations on
misconduct (e.g. Hvistendahl, 2013), etc.

This workshop seeks to foster the discussion and the advancement on a topic
that has been so far given insufficient attention in the research area of
language processing tools and resources (Branco, 2013, Fokkens et al., 2013)
and that has been an important topic emerging in other scientific areas. That
is the topic of the reproducibility of research results and the citation of
resources, and its impact on research integrity.
