This paper is a study of the decisions that researchers take during the execution of a research plan: their researcher discretion. Flexible research methods are generally seen as undesirable, and many methodologists urge to eliminate these so-called …
While Open Science has arguably initiated positive changes at some stages of the research process (e.g., increasing transparency through preregistration), problematic behaviors during data collection are still almost impossible to detect and pose a …
Preregistration has been proposed as a useful method for making a publicly verifiable distinction between confirmatory hypothesis tests, which involve planned tests of ante hoc hypotheses, and exploratory hypothesis tests, which involve unplanned …
During multiple testing, researchers often adjust their alpha level to control the familywise error rate for a statistical inference about a joint union alternative hypothesis (e.g., “H1,1 or H1,2”). However, in some cases, they do not make this …
There has been much debate in recent years about how open research practices, which have been promoted in efforts to improve research robustness, may (not) be appropriate for qualitative methodologies, particularly in educational research. Among …
The social sciences continue to move towards more open and transparent research practices. However, these changes have been driven by researchers outside of management and organisational studies and are primarily designed with quantitative methods in …
Research Integrity (RI) is high on the agenda of both institutions and science policy. The European Union as well as national ministries of science have launched ambitious initiatives to combat misconduct and breaches of research integrity. Often, …
In the last decade Open Science principles have been successfully advocated for and are being slowly adopted in different research communities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic many publishers and researchers have sped up their adoption of Open …
Each OSL lab is comprised of three elements: An activity, A data set and A published article. The activities guide students through the reproduction of the results published in the journal Psychological Science. Activities also focus on different …
A viewpoint published in Tourism Management articulates the potential benefits of preregistration and ‘debunking myths' surrounding this controversial open-science practice (Chen and Li, 2024). This rejoinder critically examines six key arguments …
