Joeri Tijdink is an assistant professor and psychiatrist at the medical humanities department of the Amsterdam University Medical center (location VUmc) and am also affiliated with the department of Philosophy of the VU University in Amsterdam. He finished his PhD in 2016, entitled ‘Publish and Perish: Research on research and researchers’ (see link and link) that aimed to uncover the major pitfalls in contemporary publication practices with a focus on the role of individual factors experienced by biomedical scientists (burnout symptomatology, publication pressure and personality traits).
Within this area he undertook several research projects that tried to uncover the major causes of research misbehavior. My special interest focusses on the role of publication pressure in contemporary publication culture and to what extent personality factors can be a risk factor for research misbehavior. Furthermore, he (with colleagues) has tested interventions that aim to foster responsible research practices and a responsible research climate. Tijdink argues that we should be more aware of how emotional states of scientists (and medical doctors) can influence scientific practices and undermine (medical) decision making and collaboration.
To this end, he published a self-help guide for researchers entitled ‘Scientist on the Sofa; How to survive in academia’. He is also involved in several research projects that aim to improve the validity of research results by predicting clinical trial quality. He is an editor of the Dutch Journal of Medicine (www.ntvg.nl) and co-founder and editor of the Dutch platform for young psychiatrists (dejongepsychiater.nl, @jongepsychiater) that focuses on translation of psychiatric research into clinical practice.
