This short guide helps to find the Eigenfactor. It is useful for researchers, PhD students, journal editors and publishers. +
This study describes a class in research methods intended for graduate students of science and engineering. The aim was to develop and test methods that would evaluate students' progress in learning research ethics. +
Even though analysing content of texts produced by learners as authentic learning outputs is time-consuming and difficult in case of large numbers of participants, it is possible to use deductive content or thematic analysis to extract specific topics.
We introduce some possible criteria for content/thematic analysis with examples. We will illustrate the criteria based on possible answers to the following case:

!Your research team is doing research involving preschool children. Part of your data collection scheme is to video record some planned activities during a regular day at the school. You have asked the children’s’ parents for informed consent. Slightly over half of the parents have consented, and you feel pretty good about your upcoming data collection. On the day of the activities and recording the children whose parents had not consented to their child participating in research had to be taken to another room for the duration of the data collection. You have planned that it like this because, it will be easier to set up the cameras and to manage the data if you have only those children in the room for whom the parents have given their consent. As you then, with the help of a preschool teacher, guide the remaining children out of the room, they begin to scream and some start to cry. They feel that they are being punished for something and that they will miss out on a fun activity that the others will do.

Evaluating the effects that existing instruction on responsible conduct of research has on ethical decision making +
The aim of this study was to analyze what effects courses on the responsible conduct of research (RCR) have on ethical decision making. The study concluded that the existing courses on RCR can be ineffective and also detrimental, because they might lead to avoidance of ethical problems or overconfidence in solving of these problems. +
Everything We Know About Facebook's Secret Mood Manipulation Experiment. It was probably legal. But was it ethical? +
This case is about a Facebook study that manipulated users' data in order to examine emotions and their change. The study lasted for a week. Facebook claims that the use of data was in order to improve their services. The author of this case study poses the question of whether, although legal under the company's terms and conditions, such use of data is ethical. +
The Excellent science communication for society at large through informal activities policy brief argues for the use of citizen-science (CS) data by local decision-makers for example, city/municipality authorities, regional environmental agencies, and other public bodies. It outlines how citizen-science data (collected by volunteers, communities, or non-traditional actors rather than formal institutions) can complement or even substitute traditional data sources for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and local governance. The brief identifies advantages such as timely data collection, cost-effectiveness, high spatial/temporal resolution, and community engagement. It also highlights limitations and challenges: data quality and validation, representativeness, sustainability of citizen participation, and integration with official decision-making. Finally, it provides recommendations on how to institutionalize CS data by establishing protocols for validation, quality assurance, and by integrating CS initiatives into local data infrastructures and decision-making processes. +
