“Policy in the absence of monitoring is not effective,” Kelly Cobey, Ph.D., director of the Open Science and Meta Research program at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and first author of the study, said in a press release. “We have reached an agreement on how to design a digital dashboard to track open science practices to determine if we are doing a good job implementing them or not.”

'El objetivo de Tapola, como el de decenas de miles de profesores en Finlandia, es que los alumnos desarrollen el pensamiento crítico y la capacidad de verificar datos. La “alfabetización mediática” para contrarrestar la desinformación es una parte esencial del currículo escolar finlandés desde 2014, año de la anexión rusa de Crimea y del inicio de los combates en el este de Ucrania.'
