📢 Just published! A new @jmirpub.bsky.social study led by #AusHSI Dr Sunny Naicker investigates the real-world implementation of an AI clinical decision support tool in radiology, finding that more than a technological intervention, this is fundamentally a sociotechnical process. 🔗 Read the paper 👇

“If fabricated studies make their way into the evidence base, they can mislead real scientists and ultimately slow progress for patients." Published in The BMJ, a new AI tool developed by @aidybarnett.bsky.social and colleagues has exposed the scale of fake studies flooding cancer research.

Fellowship schemes by Australian funding agencies invite researchers to disclose personal career disruptions to promote equity. But this well-meaning policy can expose private medical details to non-medically trained reviewers and create new risks of bias Read more: buff.ly/BriGjyG

When less is more: with the runaway train of #scientificpublishing under increasing strain, Prof @aidybarnett.bsky.social argues in @nature.com that slowing down is critical to avoid system collapse. This year, he plans to halve his publication output. 🔎 Would you consider #slowscience?

📢 New publication! Congratulations to the LEGEND study team including #AusHSI's Jaimi Greenslade, William Parsonage, Laura Stephensen, Steven McPhail, David Brain, Rex Parsons and Louise Cullen. LEGEND tested a new approach to chest pain assessment to support safe and efficient #cardiac care.
