eBay style trusted seller ratings for purveyors of news/research based on their track record for scientific rigor/factual accuracy? #ISMPPEU19

The perils of a journalist with an arts background reporting on a scientific story. #ISMPPEU19

Scientists/researchers should be equipped for and open to rational debate, but how can we communicate effectively with people who may have viewpoints that are immune to contradicting (and formed in the absence of supporting) evidence? #ISMPPEU19

Snopes.com The definitive Internet reference source for urban legend...

Automated fact checking and credibility scores - http://snopes.com for science! But how would this handle shifts in scientific opinion (e.g fats bad -› fats good) and how resistant are they to gaming? #ISMPPEU19

Final segment of #ISMPPEU19 kicks off with #FakeNews, self-reinforcing viewpoints and personal echochambers.

@psifry I like the idea of increased value for human interactions, but the development of 'companionbots' (I'm thinking of those for elderly care in Japan as an example) suggests even that bastion may not be secure for long! #ISMPPEU19

Not feeling secure with the shortlist of human-only activities. Machines have been made to 'fake' empathy and they are already working on certain forms of creativity! #ISMPPEU19

Simon Fry of @SpringerHealth on AI and publications - No more robowars! #ISMPPEU19

@hethlang on preprints. Hard sciences lagging behind, medical sciences only just leaving the starting blocks #ISMPPEU19

Preprints can get your data out earlier, but could they potentially reduce the 'buzz' of the article on publication? #ISMPPEU19

@rashdown Blockchain could be useful in academic funding, publishing, and data transparency, but an incentive (cryptocurrency?) of some kind would be required. #ISMPPEU19

On to @rashdown and @bmj_latest on preprints, open peer review, and how managing data with blockchain does not mean authors donating spare computer time to mine publications. #ISMPPEU19

@bmj_latest on how publishing has come a long way since Watson and Crick first reported their discovery of Rosalind Franklin's notes. #ISMPPEU19

Anne Clare of @EnvisionPharma takes the baton to discuss digital content for Congress activities #ISMPPEU19

IF ≠ citations or downloads. Open access, time to publication, and where it is indexed may be more important when choosing a journal. @carolinehalford #ISMPPEU19

@carolinehalford on innovations in data publication: getting to publication as an endurance challenge! #ISMPPEU19

Only 18% of MedComms professionals correctly interpreted the data as presented. A great example of how visualizing the data appropriately can help your audience follow and understand. #ISMPPEU19

Pretty damning that not only are nearly 40% of studies failing to meet their data reporting responsibilities, but disappointing that the FDA appears to be doing little to enforce them. #ISMPPEU19 year in review. #Alltrials

#ISMPPEU19 begins!
