Talk:1.1 Mission
I think that some of the "PLEASE DO NOT FORGET" sections show some very important content that -in my opinion- should be highlighted. Would it make sense to have a box (or infobox) dedicated to this type of sections? you can see an example here below. the draw back is that it is no longer plain text (i.e. it requires formatting) so it less easy to maintain.
Bjoerngerlach: It makes sense to me, to highlight certain elements. Especially also in the context that Harvinder.Virk mentioned that it is all very text heavy. Such little things can make it lighter, but indeed require a bit formatting. I am happy to learn and support.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET
To make sure that an incentive and award/reward structure is aligned with the quality objectives (please refer to items 1.3.1-1.3.4 for more information). The following questions serve as examples of how such an alignment can be tested:
- Do we encourage / support publication of "negative" or "null" results, i.e., findings that are different from those expected?
- Do we encourage people to develop and implement risk-mitigating strategies and procedures? Do we recognize these efforts?
- Do we encourage people not to rush experiments but to invest time and resources in developing/using robust methods, optimizing experimental set-ups and to conduct experiments properly according to high-quality standards (even if it takes more time than initially allocated)?
- Do we review internal processes to make sure that there is no pressure to generate "positive results"? If there is such pressure, do we have processes to mitigate the risks?
- When hiring new people, do we consider the quality and rigor of the applicants’ research?
