Scientific Integrity Requires Publishing Rebuttals and Retracting Problematic Papers
- 2023
-
Ingår i: STEM CELL REVIEWS AND REPORTS. - : SPRINGER. - 2629-3269 .- 2629-3277. ; 19, s. 568-572
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recently, an article by Seneff et al. entitled "Innate immunosuppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations: The role of G-quadruplexes, exosomes, and MicroRNAs" was published in Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT). Here, we describe why this article, which contains unsubstantiated claims and misunderstandings such as "billions of lives are potentially at risk" with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, is problematic and should be retracted. We report here our request to the editor of FCT to have our rebuttal published, unfortunately rejected after three rounds of reviewing. Fighting the spread of false information requires enormous effort while receiving little or no credit for this necessary work, which often even ends up being threatened. This need for more scientific integrity is at the heart of our advocacy, and we call for large support, especially from editors and publishers, to fight more effectively against deadly disinformation.

3D Mobile Data Visualization
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Mobile Data Visualization. - New York : Chapman and Hall/CRC. - 9781003090823 ; , s. 111-150

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We survey the space of three-dimensional mobile visualizations, that is, 3D abstract or spatial data on mobile 2D displays, or mobile head-mount augmented- and virtual-reality displays. As a playful “case study” we use a scenario from the film “Aliens,” in which a mobile, small-screen visualization device is used to track the movements of enemy aliens around a group of space marines. In this scenario, the marines are overrun by aliens in the ceiling, as their device fails to show them the height dimension of the space around them. We use this example to illustrate how different mobile and 3D interaction techniques could have prevented the misunderstanding in the movie, using both hypothetical descriptions of the improved movie action and a scientific discussion of these scenarios and their implications

Exploring and Explaining Climate Change: Exploranation as a Visualization Pedagogy for Societal Action
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Engaging mass audiences with crucial societal issues, such as cli-mate change, can be provided through interactive exhibits designed around the paradigm of exploranation. We present example inter-active installations in the newly founded Wadstr¨oms Exploranation Laboratory that explain various aspects of climate change while allowing public participants to explore the real scientific data. We describe how effects and causes of climate change can be communi-cated by two of the installations that allow for interactive opportuni-ties to explore the underlying data while gaining insight into climate change sources and effects. We close with implications for future work on exploranation as an emerging visualization pedagogy in public spaces.

Hybrid Touch/Tangible Spatial 3D Data Selection
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Computer graphics forum (Print). - : WILEY. - 0167-7055 .- 1467-8659. ; 38:3, s. 553-567
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We discuss spatial selection techniques for three-dimensional datasets. Such 3D spatial selection is fundamental to exploratory data analysis. While 2D selection is efficient for datasets with explicit shapes and structures, it is less efficient for data without such properties. We first propose a new taxonomy of 3D selection techniques, focusing on the amount of control the user has to define the selection volume. We then describe the 3D spatial selection technique Tangible Brush, which gives manual control over the final selection volume. It combines 2D touch with 6-DOF 3D tangible input to allow users to perform 3D selections in volumetric data. We use touch input to draw a 2D lasso, extruding it to a 3D selection volume based on the motion of a tangible, spatially-aware tablet. We describe our approach and present its quantitative and qualitative comparison to state-of-the-art structure-dependent selection. Our results show that, in addition to being dataset-independent, Tangible Brush is more accurate than existing dataset-dependent techniques, thus providing a trade-off between precision and effort.

Mobility during the pandemic: how did our movements shape the course of COVID-19?
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of Travel Medicine. - : OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC. - 1195-1982 .- 1708-8305. ; 29:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this manuscript, we critically assess the evidence around various methods of reducing mobility, and how these have impacted the course of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We further highlight the difficulty in assessing the effectiveness of such measures before giving directions for future research.

Open science saves lives : lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic
- 2021
-
Ingår i: BMC Medical Research Methodology. - : BMC. - 1471-2288. ; 21:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the last decade Open Science principles have been successfully advocated for and are being slowly adopted in different research communities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic many publishers and researchers have sped up their adoption of Open Science practices, sometimes embracing them fully and sometimes partially or in a sub-optimal manner. In this article, we express concerns about the violation of some of the Open Science principles and its potential impact on the quality of research output. We provide evidence of the misuses of these principles at different stages of the scientific process. We call for a wider adoption of Open Science practices in the hope that this work will encourage a broader endorsement of Open Science principles and serve as a reminder that science should always be a rigorous process, reliable and transparent, especially in the context of a pandemic where research findings are being translated into practice even more rapidly.

Open up: a survey on open and non-anonymized peer reviewing
- 2020
-
Ingår i: BMC Research Integrity and Peer Review. - : BioMed Central. - 2058-8615. ; 5:8, s. 1-11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundOur aim is to highlight the benefits and limitations of open and non-anonymized peer review. Our argument is based on the literature and on responses to a survey on the reviewing process of alt.chi, a more or less open review track within the so-called Computer Human Interaction (CHI) conference, the predominant conference in the field of human-computer interaction. This track currently is the only implementation of an open peer review process in the field of human-computer interaction while, with the recent increase in interest in open scientific practices, open review is now being considered and used in other fields.MethodsWe ran an online survey with 30 responses from alt.chi authors and reviewers, collecting quantitative data using multiple-choice questions and Likert scales. Qualitative data were collected using open questions.ResultsOur main quantitative result is that respondents are more positive to open and non-anonymous reviewing for alt.chi than for other parts of the CHI conference. The qualitative data specifically highlight the benefits of open and transparent academic discussions. The data and scripts are available on https://osf.io/vuw7h/, and the figures and follow-up work on http://tiny.cc/OpenReviews.ConclusionWhile the benefits are quite clear and the system is generally well-liked by alt.chi participants, they remain reluctant to see it used in other venues. This concurs with a number of recent studies that suggest a divergence between support for a more open review process and its practical implementation.
