28-5-2018 Three daily life situations Tension between ambition and SI House of Commons Debate: Group 1: Argues yes Group 2: Argues no Bart Kiemeney Group 3: Judges Situation 1 Nijmegen Bladder Cancer Study Collaboration with a partner that has goals / procedures I do not support Nijmegen Biomedical Study (NBS) N=6700 N=2500 10 years ago: ~ 800 euro ( = 7.4 M) 8

28-5-2018 Situation 1 What did I do? Collaboration with a partner that has goals / procedures - Embraced the collaboration I do not support - Expressed my concerns What should I do: quit my collaboration with this - Activities of company unrelated to our collaboration company? 9

28-5-2018 Situation 2 Large biobanks / data sets • N = 6700 population controls Co-authorship on topics outside of my expertise • N = 2500 bladder cancer • N = 7500 other cancers ICM J E criteria 10

28-5-2018 Situation 2 What do I do? Co-authorship on topics outside of your expertise - Accept co-authorship - S omeone has to be responsible for ‘my’ part - Direct funding dependent on output What should I do: reject co-authorship? - Need financing for collaboration (postdoc) - No co-authorship means data will not become available - However, this becomes arbitrary with FAIR data Situation 3 I am asked to review a paper for a high impact journal because of my specific expertise. Reviewing a competitive paper I notice from the abstract that the paper is from a competitor and describes a finding that I also found. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the time yet to submit my finding. Situation 3 What do I do? Reviewing a competitive paper - Accept request, but with disclosure to editor - Try to be as objective as possible What should I do: accept or decline request to review? - In case of recommendation to publish, offer journal possibility to publish back-to-back papers 11
