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 Please allow download of transcript Key Ingredients and a Reproducible Research Plan Please allow download of transcript Pre-registration worked example Please allow download of transcript Registered reports: from preparation to publication Please allow download transcript Trace your steps Please allow download transcript Be transparent Please allow download transcript Recommended Reading and Resources: A manifesto for reproducible research[CJ1] The Meaningfulness of Effect Sizes in Psychological Research: Differences Between Sub-Disciplines and the Impact of Potential Biases[CJ2] An Excess of Positive Results: Comparing the Standard Psychology Literature With Registered Reports[CJ3] Framework 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 data: Edinburgh Open Research Initiative WebsiteEdinburgh ReproducibiliTea - TwitterEdinburgh ReproducibiliTea - Open Science FrameworkEdinburgh ReproducibiliTea - YouTube This article was published on 2024-10-29
