The Role of Group Dynamics in Scientific Inconsistencies: A Case Study of a Research Consortium

Judith G M Rosmalen and Albertine J Oldehinkel

PLOS Medicine, 2011, vol. 8, issue 12, 1-5

Abstract: Judith Rosmalen and Albertine Oldehinkel describe their experience in the TRAILS research consortium to discuss why research teams might publish contradictory or inconsistent results despite procedures to avoid this; they emphasize the role of internal group dynamics rather than faulty publication practices.
