Nominate a local grassroots initiative to be featured in REACH!

🚀 We're launching a new section in REACH magazine called Community, dedicated to showcasing grassroots initiatives started by individuals, lab groups, or local communities to address specific research integrity challenges in their context.


👀 We're looking for initiatives like local networks, peer-learning groups, reproducibility clubs, discussion groups, or any community-led effort that others can join, adapt, or replicate.


📖 Each selected initiative will receive a dedicated piece in REACH that tells its story: what it does, what it has achieved, and how others can get involved.


🌟 Do you know a grassroots initiative that deserves more visibility? Please share a name, a brief description, and a link, if available.

To be eligible, initiatives should be grassroots in origin, active within the past 12 months, non-commercial, open to participation or replication in other regions and contexts, and aligned with SIA's mission.


Looking forward to your nominations!

CQUATRE presents two practical manuals for scientific communication with integrity: This is a great initiative! I’d also like to flag a related grassroots effort from Catalonia, which may be a useful example for the Community section.

Alongside my involvement with REACH, I collaborate with a task force group at the Catalan Association of Scientific Communication (ACCC) focused on scientific policy working in collaboration with the Catalan Parliament. As part of this work, we have recently published new research integrity best-practice guidelines for science communication: :https://www.accc.cat/2026/02/03/el-cquatre-presenta-dos-manuals-practics-per-a-una-comunicacio-cientifica-amb-integritat/

Given the catalan context, a relatively small research and communication ecosystem, this kind of community-driven effort shows how research integrity initiatives can be developed, tested, and sustained at a local level, with potential relevance for other small or regional communities globally.

Happy to share more details if useful.

Academic Novels on Research Integrity

I've just updated my preprint on short personal reviews of Academic Novels on Research Integrity, which now covers 35 titles. Please attend me to novels which you believe to belong to this list, but are not yet included.

I don't think this rates inclusion in your list, as the following is just a single paragraph in a four-box series, but I was re-reading a classic science fiction novel recently - Julian May's The Golden Torc (1982) - and found that it mentions research misconduct! The context is when one character is giving their involvement in creating a key piece of technology years ago:


"I designed the original device at Berkeley, you know."


"I thought that Eisenmann -"


"I was a graduate student working under him. A young fool ... My work was promising, he said, but its potential might remain unrealised because I lacked the cachet necessary to attract Polity funding. However, if I worked under him there would be no problem. I was grateful and he was clever and the work was a resounding success. And now the entire Milieu knows Eisenmann the laureate. A few even remember Eusebio Gomez-Nolan, his faithful little assistant."


Though a fictional scenario in a fictional far-future, it's an all-too familiar situation.

🎉 Celebrating great news from the Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research

Warm congratulations to all three awardees of this year’s Einstein Foundation Award for their exceptional contributions to strengthening research rigor and transparency.


We are especially thrilled to see the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative honored with the Institutional Award. They are part of the Brazilian Reproducibility Network, a valued partner of the Science Integrity Alliance, and their nationwide replication effort is a remarkable example of collective action to improve research practices.

🤝🌎


You can find the full announcement and details about this year’s winners in the brochure attached below. And make sure to watch the “Meet Our Partners” series video featuring the Brazilian Reproducibility Network. 🎬

This issue was a really interesting read and I got quite nostalgic reading about the history of the World Conferences on Research Integrity, having been there for the first one in Lisbon. WCRI has been an excellent source of support for the global research integrity community and the wider research community - I often use its outputs and guidance in my research integrity/ research culture work - and it's great to see this in-depth coverage in REACH.

🌟 REACH is live!

Our new digital magazine transforms how we communicate about research integrity — bringing together plain language, visual storytelling, and interactive features to make knowledge both engaging and accessible.


📖 In this inaugural issue, explore: 

✨ The launch of the Science Integrity Alliance 

✨ Coverage of the first U.S. National Conference on Research Integrity 

✨ An insider's view of COPE's evolution in publication ethics 

✨ An exclusive interview with Lex Bouter
