In the previous chapter, we discussed several research practices that reduce the reproducibility of research. Low reproducibility also results from other factors, such as poor experimental design (e.g., low power); poor reproducibility represents a major ethical challenge for science. The present chapter discusses ‘Open Science’ as an approach to improve research reproducibility. ‘Open Science’ is a huge field and the term can mean different things for different people. Therefore, this chapter provides both a general overview of Open Science and some specific advice on practical measures (e.g., ‘pre-registration’).The videos are presented by two guests, Laura Klinkhamer and Niamh MacSweeney. They ran the University of Edinburgh’s section of ‘ReproducibiliTEA’ for several years and did such an excellent job that I asked them whether they would be willing to contribute resources on Open Science to this website. Luckily for everyone, they agreed.The ‘Recommended Reading and Resources’ tab, below, includes links to a variety of excellent resources to help you learn more about Open Research Open Research: Introduction View Open Research Chapter - Introduction on Media hopperSee Transcript 1 Key Ingredients and a Reproducible Research Plan View Open Research Chapter: Key Ingredients of a reproducible research plan on Media hopperSee transcript 2 Pre-registration worked example View Open Research Chapter: Pre-registration worked example on media hopperSee transcript 3 Registered reports: from preparation to publication View Open Research Chapter: Registered Reports — From preparation to publication on media hopperSee transcript 4 Trace your steps View Open Research Chapter - Trace your steps on media hopperSee transcript 5 Be transparent View Open Research Chapter - Be Transparent on media hopperSee transcript 6 Recommended Reading and Resources A manifesto for reproducible researchThe Meaningfulness of Effect Sizes in Psychological Research: Differences Between Sub-Disciplines and the Impact of Potential Biases An Excess of Positive Results: Comparing the Standard Psychology Literature With Registered ReportsFramework for Open and Reproducible Research Training – this website houses a wealth of teaching resources to promote training in Open and Reproducible Research: The Open Science Framework provides and extensive toolkit to help you adopt Open Science practices: GDPR (UK version) University of Edinburgh Research Data Service page on working with sensitive dataEdinburgh Open Research Initiative Website: https://edopenresearch.com/Edinburgh ReproducibiliTea - Twitter: https://twitter.com/Edinburgh_Tea Edinburgh ReproducibiliTea - Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/kh5px/Edinburgh ReproducibiliTea - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9y6VX6Dvs4-vC8eDuOKpNQ Transcript list Document Transcript 1 (74.15 KB / PDF) Document Transcript 2 (69.17 KB / PDF) Document Transcript 3 (78.05 KB / PDF) Document Transcript 4 (101.27 KB / PDF) Document Transcript 5 (75.93 KB / PDF) Document Transcript 6 (77.68 KB / PDF) This article was published on 2024-10-29
