EQUATOR Network honoured by the Council of Science Editors
25/05/2017
We are proud and delighted to announce that on 23 May 2017, Iveta Simera accepted the Council for Science Editors’ (CSE) 2017 Award for Meritorious Achievement on behalf of the EQUATOR Network. CSE’s highest award is given to a person or institution dedicated to the improvement of scientific communication through the pursuit of high standards in all activities connected with editing.
This award was made to honour the contributions of the EQUATOR Network and our continuing efforts to promote the ethical conduct, reporting, and publication of scientific work.
Over the last 10 years the EQUATOR team has worked hard to support researchers, journal editors and peer reviewers in writing and publishing well-reported research papers. This award is a fantastic recognition, not only for the whole EQUATOR team but also for all those who support us in our efforts.
The way we disseminate research findings is changing dramatically. However, complete, accurate and transparent reporting remains one of the key pillars that make research useful and reproducible.
