There is no research on a dead planet – Fostering ecologically sustainable open science practices in neuroscience

The rapidly escalating climate crisis poses an existential threat to human wellbeing. Reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions must therefore become a primary goal of humanity. At the same time, advancing knowledge on human experience and …

ARIADNE – a scientific navigator to find your way through the resource labyrinth

Performing high-quality research is a challenging endeavor, especially for early career researchers, in many fields of psychological science. Most research is characterized by experiential learning, which can be time-consuming, error-prone, and …

Stage 1 Programmatic Registered Report: Open scholarship and feedback in applied research/Understanding the role of climate change in applied research: A qualitative Registered Report

Applied researchers have an important societal role in influencing real-world practice, bridging academic research, theory and practical experiences. Despite this, relatively little is known about theprocesses or mechanisms of feedback adopted by …

The Replication Database: Documenting the replicability of psychological science

In psychological science, replicability—repeating a study with a new sampleachieving consistent results (Parsons et al., 2022)—is critical for affirming the validity of scientific findings.Despite its importance, replicationefforts are few and far …

The effectiveness of preregistration in psychology: Assessing preregistration strictness and preregistration-study consistency

Study preregistration has become increasingly popular in psychology, but its potential to restrict researcher degrees of freedom has not yet been empirically verified. We used an extensive protocol to assess the producibility (i.e., the degree to …

The replication crisis has led to positive structural, procedural, and community changes

The emergence of large-scale replication projects yielding successful rates substantiallylower than expected caused the behavioural, cognitive, and social sciences to experi-ence a so-called ‘replication crisis’. In this Perspective, we reframe this …

Teaching open and reproducible scholarship: a critical review of the evidence base for current pedagogical methods and their outcomes

In recent years, the scientific community has called for improvements in the credibility, robustness and reproducibility of research, characterized by increased interest and promotion of open and transparent research practices. While progress has …

Bridging neurodiversity and open scholarship: How shared values can guide best practices for research integrity, social justice, and principled education

In recent years, the scientific community has called for improvements in the credibility, robustness, and reproducibility of research, characterized by higher standards of scientific evidence, increased interest in open practices, and promotion of …

A community-sourced glossary of open scholarship terms

Open scholarship has transformed research, and introduced a host of new terms in the lexicon of researchers. The ‘Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Teaching’ (FORRT) community presents a crowdsourced glossary of open scholarship terms to …

Introducing a Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT)

Dramatic changes to the transparency, rigor, reproducibility and replicability of research practices have occurred in the last decade. Despite considerable progress towards the adoption of open science practices by researchers in many disciplines, …
