As many of you know, due to COVID-19 pandemic, the VI BRISPE has been postponed to July 2021 - the final dates will be available soon. From July to December 2020, a series of virtual meetings will be organized as warm-up activities.
The first virtual session was held on July 2 and promoted an outstanding discussion on the role of open science and research integrity to boost public trust in the research results on COVID-19 and inform government response. (https://www.vibrispe2020.com/first-virtual-session)
As a follow up to the discussion, the second virtual session will be on August 21, 3:30-5:30 pm Rio time – BRT (GMT-3), which will be held collaboratively with the Brazilian Association of Scientific Editors (ABEC). We would like to invite you to take part in this forthcoming session, (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89925281530?pwd=RFZHSFlpMjBGb0liUVNORlJ1VjZIUT09).
The panel (https://www.vibrispe2020.com/c%C3%B3pia-confirmed-speakers)
will explore open science, research integrity, and reliable research results in times of COVID-19 - what does peer review mean now?.
