About this item
| Description: |
In the Data Diversity Podcast, the Research Data Team from the Office of Scholarly Communication invites researchers to have a conversation about the data they work with to highlight the different data journeys that researchers may have. The concept 'Data Diversity' is based on the idea that researchers across the different fields of study work with different forms of data, all requiring different care, management, ethics, sensitives, no matter how similar the organisational terms denoting their work make it out to be.
In this episode, we speak to Dr Nick H. Wise, Research Associate in Architectural Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, who is also a research fraud investigator in his free time. |

| Abstract: | In the Data Diversity Podcast, the Research Data Team from the Office of Scholarly Communication invites researchers to have a conversation about the data they work with to highlight the different data journeys that researchers may have. The concept 'Data Diversity' is based on the idea that researchers across the different fields of study work with different forms of data, all requiring different care, management, ethics, sensitives, no matter how similar the organisational terms denoting their work make it out to be.
In this episode, we speak to Dr Nick H. Wise, Research Associate in Architectural Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. As is the theme of the podcast, we spoke to Nick about his experience as a researcher, but this is a special edition of the podcast. Besides being a scientist and an engineer, Nick has made his name as a scientific sleuth who, based on an article on the blog Retraction Watch which was written in 2022, is responsible for more than 850 retractions, leading Times Higher Education to dub him as a research fraudbuster. Since then, through his X account @Nickwizzo, he has continued his investigations, tracking cases of fraud and in some cases, naming and shaming the charlatans. In this episode, we will learn from Nick about some of the shady activities that taint the scientific publishing industry today. In part one, we learn how Nick was introduced into the world of publication fraud and how that led him to investigate the industry behind it. |
