Registration for this event is recommende d but not required. Refreshments will be provided.

Scholarly miscond uct practices challenge the integrity of research. In this context\, the tr aditional approach to information literacy lacks a deeper and critical unde rstanding of the scholarly research process. Critical information literacy (CIL) emerges as a more powerful approach to information literacy which pro motes the critical examination of social\, political and ethical dimensions of information production and use.

In this talk\, Dr. Shahid will dr aw upon her postdoctoral research project with Dr. Luanne Sinnamon. She wil l introduce the various phases of the project alongside the main outcome of her investigation. Specifically\, Dr. Shahid will report on the initial fi ndings of the project and discuss the synthesis of the qualitative evidence and the review process. The qualitative systematic review is guided by the meta-ethnography synthesis aiming to uncover overarching and cross-cutting themes. During her talk\, she will discuss the common forms of scholarly m isconduct practices and contributing factors within the realm of health sci ences. Notably\, the evidence collected through meta-ethnography synthesis reveals both similarities and differences in health science researchers’ un derstanding of research integrity.

Furthermore\, Dr. Shahid will emph asize the significance of Critical Information Literacy (CIL) as a framewor k for educating learners about power dynamics inherent in the research proc ess. By fostering informed researchers\, we can work towards eradicating sc holarly misconduct.

Dr. Syeda Hina Shahid is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Visiting Assi stant Professor at the School of Information\, University of British Columb ia.  In her permanent role\, she is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Information Management\, Uni versity of the Punjab\, Lahore\, Pakistan.  Her research interests include investigation of the different a pproaches to information literacy and application of information literacy ( IL) instruction\, professionals’ competencies and assessment methods.
