Open Code

Definition: Making computer code (e.g., programming, analysis code, stimuli generation) freely and publicly available in order to make research methodology and analysis transparent and allow for reproducibility and collaboration . Code can be made available via open code websites, such as GitHub, the Open Science Framework, and Codeshare (to name a few), enabling others to evaluate and correct errors and re-use and modify the code for subsequent research.
