Workshop Program: The October 9 online Guardians 2023 Workshop will ask the same question posed last year for the Guardians 2022 Workshop, ie, Who are the Guardians of Truth and Integrity? and discuss the continuing information wars with the spread of polarized and extremified propaganda and lies, and the now prevalent political use of mis-information, dis-information, anti-information, caco-information, and mal-information. Please refer to our Guardians 2022 Workshop for last year's program of talks, slide presentations, and background references on these information wars. In addition, for the Guardians 2023 Workshop, we will also address the state of affairs concerning the phenomena of "academic ghosting", the decline of professional collegiality and adherence to a professional code of conduct, and the increase in prevalence of organized fraud with misconduct in academia.
Call for Papers: Research manuscripts contributed to the workshop for presentation must be submitted no later than July 9, with notice of review decisions announced August 9, and final versions of manuscripts re-submitted by September 9 prior to the workshop on October 9. Manuscripts may address any form of research from basic to applied science and medicine, from primary to secondary and tertiary research, from computational and quantitative to non-computational and qualitative, including literature reviews and meta-analyses, and across the entire spectrum of research including "bench-to-bedside" and clinical trials.
