The SIA Subscription is now live, opening up a global community for everyone working to strengthen integrity, transparency and trust in research.

The subscription brings together resources, community spaces and practical support to help you apply research integrity in your day-to-day work.

Your subscription covers SIA's platforms:

• REACH: every issue of SIA's quarterly digital magazine, with practical insights, commentary and emerging developments

  
  

• HIKE: expert-led discussions where you can ask questions and exchange ideas with the wider community

  
  

• ATLAS: help shape a growing encyclopedia of research integrity concepts, with acknowledgment for your contributions

  
  

The January–March 2026 issue of REACH is now live! 🎉

This issue asks a question that runs through everything we cover: How do we know what to trust? 🔍

What's inside:

📊 Feature Coverage: CRediT and its role in strengthening accountability across disciplines 

🏆 Spotlight: Five years of the Einstein Foundation Award

🔀 Crossroads: A funder-led approach to open science

🚀 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!

Dates: 4 February 2026 & 11 February 2026

Location: Online Event

Build your capacity to train others in reproducible research. Each workshop runs over two half-day online sessions, one week apart. Participants are expected to attend both sessions and complete a short homework task between them.

Free to attend; places are limited.

- Format: live online, interactive, small group activities and discussion

- Audience: trainers, educators, and researchers who teach or support best practice in research

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.

In today’s research world, paying to make your paper open access can cost thousands — but does it really lead to more citations? 📈

A new video lay summary, created for MIRROR, a resource from the Science Integrity Alliance, unpacks a large-scale study of 146,000+ biology papers that explored whether paying for open access truly increases visibility and impact.

The results? Open access can boost citations — especially for smaller research teams — but paying more doesn’t always mean reaching more readers.

A new MIRROR summary from Science Integrity Alliance breaks down a study tracking how early COVID-19 preprints changed after expert review. The results? 🧠

✅ 4 in 5 preprints kept their core conclusions.

 ⚙️ Data stayed mostly the same — but some abstracts shifted tone.

 🔍 Transparency and data sharing still lagged behind.

Science under pressure mostly held firm — but the study reminds us that open, transparent review is key to fighting misinformation and building public trust.

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.
