The Center for Open Science

Academic misconduct and research malpractice are problems that have repercussions beyond the scientific community. But is it possible to make scientific research more trustworthy? This week, we will hear from Terry Foor, Director of Development with the Center for Open Science. Terry will describe how COS is working to make the research process more transparent and the research results more accessible, both here in the United States and around the world.
