How/what kind of approach/understanding/definition related to reliability and validity for academic research should be developed as to be parallel to the 2020s?
In my opinion, the problem of reliability in the context of various types of research projects can be considered in terms of social responsibility of research, ethics of research and specific applications obtained from their results. In addition, this issue may take into account the scale of solving global problems, such as the problem of hunger, the climate crisis, the crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, etc., thanks to the development of scientific research and the reliable use of research results in solving this type of serious problems of humanity and the biosphere of the planet Earth.
Thank you very much Dariusz Prokopowicz! Your reply (particularly specific applications obtained from their results and social responsibility of research) has brought a comprehensive review of possible results of multi- or inter-disciplinary research and their effects into the forefront. This also may be a new dimension.
