OPEN SCIENCE PRACTICES AMONG AUTHORS OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED ON THE TOPIC OF
COMPLEMENTARY, ALTERNATIVE, AND INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE: A CROSS-SECTIONAL SURVEY


WELCOME. PLEASE REVIEW THE IMPLIED CONSENT FORM BELOW BEFORE BEGINNING THE
SURVEY.

Implied Consent Form
Study Title: Open Science Practices Among Authors of Articles Published on the
Topic of Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medicine: A Cross-Sectional
Survey

Principal Investigator: Dr. David Moher, PhD, dmoher@ohri.ca

OHSN-REB Number: 20230376-01H

INTRODUCTION
The emerging open science movement is a critical step towards accessible and
transparent science. Open science aims to increase research availability and
reach across different audiences through open data, open access platforms,
transparent peer review methods, and public access. Specifically, the movement
seeks to increase the amount of scientific research that is accurately being
disseminated to the public as well as trust in science. Open science also aims
to reduce publication bias, insufficient reporting standards, and a lack of
reproducibility. To achieve this goal, change must occur, “in the culture and
incentives that drive researchers’ behavior, the infrastructure that supports
their research, and the business models that dominate scholarly communication.
This culture change requires simultaneous movement by funders, institutions,
researchers, and service providers across national and disciplinary boundaries.
Despite this, the vision is achievable because openness, integrity, and
reproducibility are shared values, the technological capacity is available, and
alternative sustainable business models exist.” (Source:
https://www.cos.io/about/mission)

Despite the movement toward an open science landscape, many barriers still
obstruct its full implementation. Challenges include a lack of formal education
procedures for teaching open science, low incentive to use open science
policies, and increased publishing costs. In this study, a cross-sectional
online survey methodology will be used to determine what open science practices
are used by researchers who publish in CAIM journals. The objective of this
study is to explore the use of open science practices in research published in
CAIM journals.
You are invited to participate in this study because we have identified you from
a sample of ~6000 corresponding authors who recently published articles in
complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine journals. This consent form
provides you with information to help you make an informed choice. Please read
this document carefully and ask any questions you may have.  All your questions
should be answered to your satisfaction before you decide whether to participate
in this research study.

ARE THERE ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST?
There are no conflicts of interest to declare related to this study.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THIS STUDY?
Your participation in this study will require the completion of an anonymous
survey. The survey asks questions about participant demographics and practices
and perceived barriers related to open science. This should take approximately
15 minutes of your time.

The information you provide is for research purposes only.  Some of the
questions are personal. You can choose not to answer questions if you wish.

VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION AND WITHDRAWAL:
Taking part in this study is voluntary; you do not have to be in this study if
you do not want to be. You can choose to end your participation in this research
(called withdrawal) at any time without having to provide a reason.

The survey is anonymous. This means that we will not collect any information
that explicitly identifies you (e.g., name, email address, etc.). You can
withdraw from participating at any time while completing the survey simply by
closing your browser; however, once the completed survey has been returned to
the study team, it will not be possible to withdraw your information.  If you
decide to withdraw from the study after beginning the survey, but before
submitting your responses, simply close the browser window and your responses
will not be retained. Because the survey is anonymous, you will not be able to
withdraw from the study after submitting your responses.
RISKS AND/OR BENEFITS
Participation involves minimal risk to you. Some of the questions may however
make you feel uncomfortable.  

You will not receive direct benefit from participating in this study. The
results of the survey are expected to help identify gaps in the practice of open
science, and potential barriers faced by researchers in the field of
complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine. Subsequently, it may
benefit the adoption of CAIM by the public, improve overall CAIM research
integrity and usability, and ultimately lead to improved patient care, symptom
relief, and overall quality of life.

PRIVACY/CONFIDENTIALITY:
The survey is anonymous which means that your answers will not be linked to you
in any way.

Authorized representatives of the following organizations may look at your
original records at the site where these records are held, to check that the
information collected for the study is correct and follows proper laws and
guidelines.

·      The Ottawa Health Science Network Research Ethics Board who oversees the
ethical conduct of this study.

·      Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, to oversee the conduct of research at
this location.
Information that is collected about you for the study (called study data) may
also be sent to the organizations listed above. Your name, address, email, or
other information that may directly identify you will not be used. The records
received by these organizations may contain your sex/gender, academic rank and
institution information, and career stage.

Communication via e-mail is not absolutely secure. We do not recommend that you
communicate sensitive personal information via e-mail.

If the results of this study are published, your identity will remain anonymous.
It is expected that the information collected during this study will be used in
analyses and will be published/presented to the scientific community at meetings
and in journals.

We will share your anonymous data from this study on the Open Science Framework.
This means your data may be used for other research purposes. Information that
links your study data directly to you will not be shared.

If information from this study is published, shared, or presented at scientific
meetings, your identity will remain anonymous.

Even though the likelihood that someone may identify you from the study data is
very small, it can never be completely eliminated.

Data collected using the SurveyMonkey software resides on a Montreal, Quebec
server.

COST AND/OR PAYMENT:

David Moher, PhD at dhmoher@ohri.ca.

If you have questions about your rights as a participant or about ethical issues
related to this study, you can talk to someone who is not involved in the study
at all. Please contact The Ottawa Health Science Network Research Ethics Board,
Chairperson at 613-798-5555 extension 16719.
