Prof. Byrne Awarded 2025 David Vaux Fellowship
February 10, 2025
Prof. Jennifer Byrne has been awarded the 2025 David Vaux Research Integrity Fellowship Award by The Australian Academy of Science.
The prestigious fellowship recognizes Prof. Byrne's pioneering work in detecting and addressing problematic research articles. Her journey began when she identified concerning patterns in published cancer papers, leading to the development of specialized software for detecting potentially fabricated research. Prof. Byrne's comprehensive approach includes engaging with journals, mentoring students, and fostering dialogue between publishers and researchers to combat research misconduct.
With this fellowship, Prof. Byrne plans to conduct presentations at research centers across Australia, focusing on engaging early-career researchers and addressing contemporary challenges in scientific publishing, including paper mills and the undeclared use of AI. She will also participate in international conferences to contribute to global discussions on publication integrity.
The David Vaux Research Integrity Fellowship Award, established in 2023, honors individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership in promoting scientific integrity.
Prof. Byrne serves as a member of the Science Integrity Alliance Advisory Board, contributing her expertise to advancing research integrity globally.
