Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Learn to design rigorous, transparent, and replicable studies through hands-on workshops in open science, robust methods, and critical appraisal. Work with leading experts, pressure-test your projects, and leave with concrete improvements such as preregistration plans, and reproducible code. You’ll also reflect on research values and how to embed credibility from idea to publication. Expect an energizing cohort, practical tools you can use immediately, and a lasting community committed to raising the impact and relevance of management research.

Key Facts

Across five days, participants explore the roots of the credibility crisis in management research and the social sciences in general, learn how to apply open science practices, master research designs that support robust causal inference, and develop their own credibility-focused research proposals.

This  Credibility and Rigour in Management Research course from VU Amsterdam Summer School responds to a growing demand from both scholars and scientific journals for greater transparency and rigor in management research. Through a combination of expert lectures, interactive workshops, and group projects, participants will learn to critically assess existing studies, implement credibility-enhancing practices in their own work, and position themselves at the forefront of a movement reshaping the future of management scholarship.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Understand and navigate the key credibility challenges facing management research and their implications for theory, practice, and publication.
  • Apply principles of open science, including preregistration, data and code transparency, and replication, to strengthen the trustworthiness of their own work.
  • Design research for robustness and causal inference, incorporating appropriate methodological choices and sensitivity analyses.
  • Critically evaluate research with respect to transparency, rigour, and reproducibility.
  • Plan and execute replication studies as a tool for theory testing and knowledge accumulation in management research.

Other requirements

General requirements

  • The course is aimed at Master's / PhD students and will provide participants with the insight to deduct that all neurological conditions and neuroscientific principles can be traced back to anatomy. Hence, decent understanding of neuroanatomy forms a pivotal starting point for any scientific or clinical career in the (pre)clinical and fundamental neurosciences.
  • The course will also be insightful for practitioners working in e.g. neuro-rehabilitation as it provides them with examples of the injuries they are dealing with in their practices. Furthermore, it will be interesting for physical therapists, paramedics, and teachers in e.g. biology at high school or universities of applied sciences.
