简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the influence of supervisors on PhD students' research practice (i.e., an environment where there is a lack of opposition to detrimental research practice from the supervisor)
详细描述
PhD students are the next generation of researchers and will present the field in the future. However, several environmental factors might influence their research practice. In this study, we will evaluate the influence of supervisors on PhD students' research practice (an environment where there is a lack of opposition to detrimental research practice from the supervisor).
Objective
To evaluate the influence of supervisors on PhD students' research practice
Design: A randomized controlled trial
- Intervention: Participants will be shown two case vignettes describing dilemma situations in research reported with and without the role of the supervisor.
- Participants: The participants will be PhD students in all biomedical disciplines.
- Sample size will be 300 participants
- Primary outcome: In each vignette, participants will have to indicate which solution they prefer on a semantic differential scale, rated from - 5 to -1 (preference for solution A) and from 1 to 5 (preference for solution B). Participants will be forced to make a choice between the 2 solutions. The primary outcome will be the mean preference score.
- This study is approved by ethics review regulations by INSERM (CEEI-IRB): IRB00003888

结局指标
主要结局
Mean preference score
时间窗: Immediate assessment
In each vignette, we will ask participants, what would you do if you are in the place of the character in the vignette? Participants will have to indicate which solution they prefer on a semantic differential scale, rated from - 5 to -1 (preference for solution A) and from 1 to 5 (preference for solution B). We will calculate the mean preference score
次要结局
- Proportion of students who chose the detrimental research practice(Immediate assessment)
