Trust vs. accountability - from red tape to red flag

 

We all want our science and scholarship to be trustworthy: meaning, high-quality, transparent, FAIR, open, ethical, privacy-respecting, as safe as possible…and each of these virtues (and legal requirements!) comes with best practices, which come with review processes (by peers and/or administrators), forms to fill out, and accountability to funders and employers. In other words, red tape. How much of this red tape serves its intended purpose? Could we abandon most of it - or do we need it to spot red flags? This OSCoffee talk uses a recent experiment, radically reducing the amount of quality monitoring data entry at a Dutch intensive care unit, as a jumping-off point for weighing trust against accountability in the university.
