The war in Ukraine has sparked a debate about the future of scientific collaboration with Russia. Some support a boycott, while others argue that collaboration should continue. The German Ministry of Education and Research says that the decision lies with science itself. These different views show the complexity of the issue. +

<span lang="EN-GB">As outcomes are less tangible than outputs and might involve less quantifiable patterns such as behavioural change, the appropriate identification/development of key performance indicators (KPIs) is crucial to track observable longer-term trends, such as an increase in skills or shifts in the behaviour of certain population segments, which is potentially caused by successful interventions of our implementation. Consider at least one key performance indicator (KPI) with which a durable outcome can be measured for later analysis.</span>

<span lang="EN-US">The [https://publishers.fairassist.org/ <u>Editorial Reference Handbook</u>] informs and assists journals to operationalise a set of checks necessary to make the data underlying published research findings more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) to underpin reproducibility. The Handbook targets in-house staff managing the manuscripts primarily, but it will also benefit reviewers, authors and even those providing services to publishers by making the fundamental checks and requirements transparent and understandable.</span>
</div><div>
<span lang="EN-US">The Handbook includes three interlinked components: a checklist of 12 elements, a flowchart that outlines the ideal internal manuscript submission workflow (who should perform the checks and when), and a guidance to help users to implement the checks effectively, with definitions and tips.</span>
</div><div>
<span lang="EN-US">The Handbook fills a gap, because no common guidance existed on the practical implementation of these checks across a complex publishing workflow and the variety of individuals and teams involved. This pilot saw the participation of more than 30 individuals, from more than 20 journals of major publishers: CUP, Cell Press, EMBO Press, Taylor & Francis, GigaScience Press, OUP, PLOS, Springer Nature.</span>

Stop the dialogue after 10 minutes and reflect with the group on the differences between debate and dialogue by referring/asking questions about:
**
*Experiences, feelings during the debate and dialogue,
*The extent of understanding each other,
*The group dynamics (who was talking, did everybody had a say etc.),
*The understanding of the content of the case (motives,interests),
*Other outcomes of a debate and dialogue (e.g. gaining new insights).
Reflect with the group on the differences between debate and dialogue. You may look at additional questions in the practical tips section. Take notes of the reflection on a flip-chart. +

In order for our committee to reach a consensus regarding a specific case:
<br />
*I must share my Informed Judgment and associated reasons with the rest of the committee,
*Listen to and recognise the Informed Judgments and associated reasons of all other members of the committee.
The final step is to deliberate and debate with our fellow committee members.
<br />
*If we all agree, then the decision is made and little needs to be done, although, from time to time, we should critique our views,
*If we fail to obtain a consensus, we can ask for further involvement from interested parties ("Empathy"), outside advice and deliberation ("Expertise") and/or new research ("Evidence"). +

'''Video Transcript'''
The concept of scientific paradigms was introduced by Thomas Kuhn in 1962 in the book: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. By ‘scientific revolution’ Kuhn has in mind a major turning point in the development of science, such as is associated with Copernicus, Newton, or Einstein. Each of these figures initiated a spectacular change of course in the development of science, which is often characterised as a revolutionary change.<div>
According to Kuhn, a scientific revolution is not so much a leap forward as a change of direction. When a scientific revolution occurs, science does not progress more rapidly along a pre-determined path, but rather sets out along a different path altogether.
Researchers who share a paradigm will also share certain basic beliefs;they share a particular understanding of what science is all about, and how it can be pursued. In essence, they share a way of seeing the world. Once there is convergence on a paradigm, there is a framework in which problems can be solved, researchers in the field have a clear idea of where the problems lie, and of what might count as a solution to them. The researchers speak a common language.

The last word on benefit sharing goes to Reverend Mario Mahongo, who was Chair of the South African San Council, 2000 – 2018.
What I want to say is, I think there should be a benefit for the people who are being researched. I don’t want researchers to see us as museums that cannot speak for themselves and that don’t expect something in return. We are humans who deserve support. At the end of the day, the researcher is happy because he received what he wanted from us, but we also need to be happy in what we receive from him because we also want to benefit from the research. So, we will allow them to do the research, but it must be based on equality, not one-sided. +
<span lang="EN-US">1. Ask each participant to in 1-2 minutes think of one or two takeaways from the workshop & discussions.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">2. Then ask participants to reflect on empowerment, what it means for them and what they need to feel empowered in their role as a PhD & researcher. Probe them to think about how they can empower themselves in their daily work.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">3. Continue the discussion by drawing to the importance of empowerment and how it connects to academia. It is important to be able to recognize/hear bad or unsafe situations and to speak up in these scenarios. Empowerment in academia is crucial for fostering a positive and productive environment. It enhances the quality of work by allowing individuals to take ownership of their projects, boosting motivation and creativity. With greater control over their academic journey, students and researchers are more engaged and persistent. Empowerment also promotes well-being by helping individuals manage stress and set healthy boundaries, while ensuring they feel safe to speak up about unsafe or unethical situations. It fosters inclusive, collaborative work environments where everyone’s voice is valued, leading to more innovative and effective outcomes. Ultimately, empowerment creates a culture where individuals are motivated, supported, and capable of contributing meaningfully to their academic communities.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">4. Ask participants if there are any questions, or any points they would like to discuss.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">5. Discuss the importance of communication for empowerment. Discuss this from the perspective of communicating with peers as an important resource for empowerment, it can help reflect on situations from a different perspective and provide support. But it is also important to discuss communication with others in dilemma situations, it is important to be clear and transparent and if they think something wrong they should speak to someone (e.g. directly to the person, or confidential counselors). Increasing awareness and learning to recognize unsafe or dilemmas can help other and themselves in handling situations in the future. Conclude that dilemmas will always exist, but it is up to individuals to change the way they approach them and these changes continue through awareness, communication, and recognition.</span>
<span lang="EN-US">6. Finish the session by alleviating the responsibilities from the PhDs, tell them it is not only their responsibility to ‘fix the system’. They have a large network of support networks if they feel they need help. Share the contact information & responsibilities of graduate schools and confidential counselors. End the workshop by highlighting that each dilemma and each individual may require a different approach and their empowerment is what the individual needs in that situation and therefore can be different for everyone. It is important to evaluate what the individual wants to achieve in the situation and act accordingly.</span>
