    Abstract: Sharing knowledge is a basic tenet of the scientific community, yet publication bias arising from the reluctance or inability to publish negative or null results remains a long-standing and deep-seated problem, albeit one that varies in severity between disciplines and study types. Recognizing that previous endeavors to address the issue have been fragmentary and largely unsuccessful, this Consensus View proposes concrete and concerted measures that major stakeholders can take to create and incentivize new pathways for publishing negative results. Funders, research institutions, publishers, learned societies, and the research community all have a role in making this an achievable norm that will buttress public trust in science.

  2. By: Lukas Baeuerle (Institute for Comprehensive Analysis of the Economy, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria; Socio-Ecological Transformation Lab, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria); Michelle Meixieira Groenewald (School of Economic Sciences, North West University, South Africa)
    Abstract: The role of academic economics education in establishing and nurturing a monoculture of thought and action, emanating from this powerful discipline has been pivotal. However, as of today, there exists a vast array of pedagogical alternatives. These are contributing to an emerging pluriculture of future economics and future economies. The following chapter presents a framework to compare these pluralizing ambitions in (and of), economics education. Furthermore, we discuss in detail how recent trends in the debate are beginning to reflect economic education in the broader context of its socio-ecological pervasiveness. So too, we grapple with the process of reshaping it from an overtly imperialist tradition towards a decolonized and diversified domain, in terms of content, capabilities and didactics. Throughout the chapter we provide examples, databases and go-to manuals that have been established to foster pluralist economic education. This chapter does not diminish the challenges that exist in economics education but also seeks to point out instances where progress has been made, and offers avenues that exist for economic pluricultures to emerge.
