Author guidelines for journals could help to promote transparency, openness, and reproducibility
Open access, open data, source and other scholarship practices are growing in popularity necessity. However, widespread adoption of these has not yet been achieved. One reason is that researchers uncertain about how sharing their work will affect careers. We review literature demonstrating research associated with increases citations, media attention, potential collaborators, job opportunities funding opportunities. These findings evidence bring significant benefits to relative more...
Academic Abstract In the wake of replication crisis, social and personality psychologists have increased attention to power analysis adequacy sample sizes. this article, we analyze current controversies in area, including choosing effect sizes, why whether analyses should be conducted on already-collected data, how mitigate negative effects size criteria specific kinds research, which criterion use. For novel research questions, advocate that researchers base sizes are likely cost-effective...
Researchers face many, often seemingly arbitrary, choices in formulating hypotheses, designing protocols, collecting data, analyzing and reporting results. Opportunistic use of “researcher degrees freedom” aimed at obtaining statistical significance increases the likelihood publishing false-positive results overestimated effect sizes. Preregistration is a mechanism for reducing such freedom by specifying designs analysis plans before observing research outcomes. The effectiveness...
Preprints increase accessibility and can speed scholarly communication if researchers view them as credible enough to read use. Preprint services do not provide the heuristic cues of a journal's reputation, selection, peer-review processes that, regardless their flaws, are often used guide for deciding what read. We conducted survey 3759 across wide range disciplines determine importance different assessing credibility individual preprints preprint services. found that related information...

Sharing data, materials, and analysis scripts with reviewers readers is valued in psychological science. To facilitate this sharing, files should be stored a stable location, referenced unique identifiers, cited published work associated them. This Tutorial provides step-by-step guide to using OSF meet the needs for sharing data.
The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Committee met in November 2014 to address one important element of the incentive systems - journals’ procedures policies for publication. outcome effort is TOP Guidelines. There are eight standards guidelines; each move scientific communication toward greater openness. These modular, facilitating adoption whole or part. However, they also complement other, that commitment standard may facilitate others. Moreover, guidelines sensitive barriers...

Preregistration is the act of submitting a study plan, ideally also with analytical to registry prior conducting work. increases discoverability research even if it does not get published further. Adding specific analysis plans can clarify distinction between planned, confirmatory tests and unplanned, exploratory research. This preprint contains template for “OSF Prereg” form available from OSF Registry. An earlier version was originally developed Challenge, an education campaign designed...
We report a randomized trial of research ethics training intervention designed to enhance communication in university science and engineering laboratories, focusing specifically on authorship data management. The is project-based curriculum that was the ability laboratory members engage reason giving interpersonal necessary for ethical practice. fielded active faculty-led laboratories at two US research-intensive institutions. Here, we show perceived improvements quality discourse within...
In Registered Reports (RRs), initial peer review and in-principle acceptance occurs before knowing the research outcomes. This combats publication bias distinguishes planned unplanned research. How RRs could improve credibility of findings is straightforward, but there little empirical evidence. Also, be unintended costs such as reducing novelty. 353 researchers reviewed a pair papers from 29 published psychology neuroscience 57 non-RR comparison papers. outperformed on all 19 criteria (mean...
In this manuscript, we (a) briefly describe proposed open-science practices to increase transparency of research in special education and related disciplines, (b) provide recommendations for funders, professional societies, journal editors publishers, individual researchers support awareness, exploration, adoption open science.

Psychological distance and abstraction both represent key variables of considerable interest to researchers across cognitive, social, developmental psychology. Moreover, largely inspired by construal level theory, numerous experiments multiple fields have now connected these 2 constructs, examining how psychological affects the at which people mentally world around them. The time is clearly ripe for a quantitative synthesis shed light on relation between constructs investigate potential...
