"In research workplaces, especially universities, some honest yet unacceptable research practices are superficially frowned on while others are tolerated or even encouraged as occupational realities. For example, while a student may be criticised by a supervisor for wrongly applying a fixed-effects model in a meta-analysis of complex health services interventions, other poor practices, such as lack of data sharing or failure to report negative findings,4 may be ignored due to perceived administrative demands on researchers. Finally, overhyping of results or salami slicing may even be incentivised and rewarded via the overesteeming volume of research output and impact for the researcher(s), team(s), department and organisation"
