MatchingstrategiesandpracticeIdentifying matchesbetween betweenstrategyandpublications• Studentspublications looked upinPURE/WoS:
Suggested authors,Titlewords,Targetjournal,SubjectConsideronlypeerreviewedarticles(forsimplicity,goodapproximationinmedicine)
Indepth qualitative text analysis (tobecompleted)• Towhatdegree tothestrategy was followed?• Arethereareas where studentsfollow moreclosely their initialstategy
than others?

Preliminaryresults• Outof25strategies,3wereabandoned becauseofaclearchange of
career pathorplain poorquality(thestudentnothavingtakenthetaskseriously)
• 22strategies reflected amoreorless precise implementation
• OnePhD studentfollowed thestrategycompletely(100percentcompliance)
• Moststrategiesdeviate wrt. target journaland/ororiginal title.
Practicing ResearchIntegrity,November2nd,2018
Conclusions thisfar..• Thevast majority ofstrategies are traceableinstudents’subsequent
publication practices
• Mostdeviationsare intermsoftarget journal andtitles
• Indicates tousthatthereflections ofthestudentsinpractise (theabstractconceptualisation)following theRCRcourse isuseful
• Futurework:• Indepth qualitative text analysis andextended sampleofstrategiesto
