Concurrent 5C: Transparency and Openness: Stories from Stakeholders
Beyond the research community itself, the issues of transparency and reproducibility are priorities at many of the major funders in the U.S. and elsewhere, including NIH and NSF, and the White House. This session will cover many aspects and perspectives on transparency. A discussion of community-driven transparency initiatives and services available to editors and publishers will follow, to demonstrate how, practically, we can make transparency a reality. Included in the discussion will be the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines (cos.io/top), Registered Reports format of publishing (https://osf.io/8mpji/), Badges to Acknowledge Open Practices (https://osf.io/tvyxz/), and open peer review. Publishers and editors will share experiences in implementing these initiatives in journals like eLife (as part of the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology), Psychological Science and others.
