This editorial announces the decision of the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology (CJEP) to offer Open Science Framework (OSF) Badges. The Centre for Open Science provides tools to facilitate open science practices. These include the OSF …
Academic institutions in Europe (e.g. universities, research funding institutions, academies) are
increasingly committing themselves to ‘open science’ principles (see e.g. http://openscienceasap.
org/open-science/). Those principles are increasingly …
All of us involved in the mind and brain sciences, in whatever
capacity, are increasingly aware of the importance of ensuring
the credibility of our research. This credibility—which for experimental work turns on its reliability—is particularly …
Conservation science is a multidisciplinary and collaborative discipline. This journal's policy is to encourage transparent and open practices in science, including sharing of data, code, and survey instruments. Such practices are especially …
The scientific endeavor is one in which the capacity to replicatefindings is a foundational tenant. It is unfortunate that therehave been a number of highly publicized cases over the pastdecade of scientists who have not practiced science with …
Open source software is often seen as a path to reproducibility in computational science. In practice there are many obstacles, even when the code is freely available, but open source policies should at least lead to better quality code.
Conversations about open science have reached the mainstream, yet many open science practices such as data sharing remain uncommon. Our efforts towards openness therefore need to increase in scale and aim for a more ambitious target. We need an …
Granting access to publications and data may be a step towards open science, but it's not enough to ensure reproducibility. Making computer code available is also necessary — but the emphasis must be on the quality of the programming.
Many scientific fields are facing a reproducibility crisis, revealed where replication fails to reproduce findings from previous work. This irreproducibility leads to the promulgation of inappropriate evidence.
