Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: A-MC works for Wellcome. Through this, the organization and she are engaged in a lot of advocacy work to promote a more positive research culture. The guidance asks about advocacy work so I include this for completeness. VB was involved in the creation of a Research Integrity course at QUT. QUT licenses this course to other institutions and provides a proportion of any income to the creators. VB is employed by QUT and the Australasian Open Access Strategy Group. She sits on and is paid for work on the NHMRC’s Research Quality Steering Committee. She is an unpaid advisor to a variety of open access and scholarly communication initiatives, including DORA.
