Discover who we are and our activities in favor of the world of health in the French-speaking world
Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,
It's back to school after a summer break conducive to reflection. The second stage of our strategic plan is currently being developed. Our 2023-2024 roadmap should allow for better visibility and better positioning of GRISOF through its actions in the field. It comes in three stages.
(1) Fall 2023.Eight new training modules, called “References for Open Science” will begin at the end of 2023.
(2) Spring 2024.“Open Science and Francophonie” Workshop remotely, open to all. Open science, promoted by UNESCO, is revolutionizing access to science and particularly publication. Along with artificial intelligence, this is one of the great revolutions underway. It requires training, knowledge of developments and pitfalls. This workshop will make it possible to define the questions that will be addressed during the following colloquium.
(3) Fall 2024/Winter 2025.Colloquium “Open Science and Francophonie”, This symposium will involve government agencies and other organizations and universities, all involved in science, either in research training or in the dissemination of research data. Together we will have to answer a series of questions elaborated during the workshop on open science, in particular: economic model, social responsibility, excesses such as the rise of predatory journals, open access publication platforms, new questions concerning ethics and the 'integrity.
We will continue our conferences with two new objectives : further broaden the multidisciplinary field of our speakers; ask PhD students to exhibit their work to make them known and have the opportunity to present and discuss their scientific approach. We call on all mentors, thesis supervisors, research supervisors, to submit applications that we will then contact.
Sincerely,
For the editorial committee of GRISOF

GRISOF organizes four series of videoconferences
Since 2017, first within CIDMEF and then GRISOF, we have organized and supported four types of videoconferences for the benefit of mainly African colleagues.
Medical news conferences
As of June 25, 2023, 139 news videoconferences have been broadcast to the 165 faculties of the CIDMEF network and 750 correspondents, with the technical support of the AUF during the first three years (2018-2021).
These medical news conferences alternate with presentations of clinical cases. First focused on pulmonology, then on personalized medicine, our conferences have expanded to include societal aspects.
The conferences are accessible later on the SPLF/EFP website and on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRmZUiy13y3lBRoN3IlbsZQ
Until May 24, 2022, we organized 26 "COVID Pandemic" videoconferences with the theme of clinics, epidemiology, biology, organization of care, information, cultural aspects in Africa. Audience: 100 to 200 people live, 400 to 1200 people delayed.

ConferencesFeFOG-GRISOF
In January 2021, we started a third cycle of monthly conferences, organized by the FéFOG (French-speaking Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology). This program takes place in partnership with the AUF through its international multi-stakeholder collaborative system for social innovation (ACTIF).
As of June 25, 2023, 26 videoconferences have been organized and available on a deferred basis

Bulletin “COVID-19 pandemic”
Since March 2020, through May 2022, we have published 29 COVID-19 newsletters. These bulletins contain data from the literature, practical information from learned societies, analyzes and forums in which each faculty is invited to present its experience.
Bulletin "Open Science in Health"
On June 24, 2023, we published the eleventh newsletter "Open Science in Health".

CAMES-CIDMEF-GRISOF Formation Indexation
est chargé de travailler avec le CAMES, éditeurs et rédacteurs de revues, en vue d’améliorer la qualité de la recherche et la qualité des publications africaines et malgaches. L’action soutenue se veut un accompagnement des facultés de l’espace CAMES.n
Le GRISOF propose 5 nouveaux thèmes pour 2026
Science ouverte : opportunités et obstacles.
La SO constitue un changement de paradigme dans les relations scientifiques.
La SO constitue une opportunité pour faire connaître les travaux des chercheurs et les universités auxquelles ils appartiennent.
Des obstacles doivent être levés :les publications doivent être référencées et de qualité ; une démarche active doit permettre d’améliorer l’accessibilité.
Un contrat d’assistance technique est une solution pour y remédier.
L’IA dans la recherche scientifique : usages et mésusages
Associée au déluge des données massives, l'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) s'est peu à peu investie dans l’ensemble. Cette nouvelle vague technologique a généré un raz de marée dont nous ne mesurons pas encore les conséquences. Les chercheurs doivent se former et ne pas attendre un code de déontologie pour son utilisation car elle est en marche et il n’y aura pas de retour en arrière. Celle-ci ne peut être pleinement comprise sans porter attention aux transformations des pratiques scientifiques (pratiques de travail, politiques de recherche, plagiat , etc.) et des schémas cognitifs, ainsi qu’aux controverses qui peuvent les accompagner.
L’IA dans l’enseignement
Le développement de l’IA est une occasion de réfléchir sur le modèle d’enseignement dans nos facultés, à la manière d’enseigner dans les situations d’apprentissage et d’évaluer si les étudiants maitrisent le savoir et les compétences associées. Alors que les savoirs d’hier seront de plus en plus disponibles avec la machine, le développement de l’IA souligne l’enjeu des processus d’apprentissage : « la capacité d’apprendre à apprendre », comment structurer sa pensée et exercer son esprit critique. Ces évolutions nécessitent un accompagnement à la fois des enseignants et des étudiants afin de garantir la validation des connaissances et compétences acquises et, de ce fait, la qualité des diplômes.
Évaluation
Science ouverte et IA conduisent à s’interroger sur les pratiques d’évaluation la fois dans la recherche (évaluation par les pairs) et dans l’enseignement.
Différentes pratiques apparaissent pour identifier les productions générées par l’IA :détecter plagiat et images détournées, analyser des biais, etc.
L’usage de l'IA présente des limites qui nécessitent des directivesclaires, une relecture humaine de qualité, une élaboration de critères de haut standard susceptibles d’assurer transparence et traçabilité.
Une évaluation qualitative de la recherche est une réponse à l’inflation des publications qui permettent difficilement d’évaluer la qualité des travaux des chercheurs
Intégrité.
L'intégrité scientifique renvoie à l’ensemble des règles et des valeurs qui doivent régir les activités de recherche pour en garantir le caractère honnête et rigoureux (sous l'égide des institutions et des référents intégrité scientifique qui sont des chercheurs). L'IS se distingue de l'éthique (morale, réflexion sous l'égide de comité avec des professionnels de toutes origines) et de la déontologie (rapports dans la profession, harcèlement, liens d'intérêts sous la responsabilité de juristes).
L'objectif de l'IS est d'apporter aux chercheurs les règles pour une recherche responsable. Il s'agit de prévenir les méconduites comme la fraude (fabrication et falsification de données, plagiat) et les pratiques discutables en recherche. Ces pratiques sont fréquentes, présentes probablement dans 50 % des projets de recherche. Les conflits d'auteurs, les manipulations de données pour trouver un résultat significatif, les embellissements d'image sont très fréquents.
La plupart des pays développent des systèmes pour améliorer la qualité des recherches, avec des organisations responsables et des référents intégrité scientifique. Il est préférable de former les chercheurs, de prévenir les méconduites car les investigations sont difficiles, longues, coûteuses.
