E Open science practices

[Main author of chapter: Özge Özenoglu]

This chapter is dedicated to reflecting on open science practices regarding data collection, analysis and sharing the results with the scientific community. To motivate why this is necessary, Section E.1 unravels how publication bias, questionable research practices, inflated error rates, and the lack of transparency threaten the credibility of psychological science. This section will be somewhat pessimistic. However, there is no need to despair! Section E.2 provides an overview of measures to solve (or at least reduce) the problems from the previous section. Finally, Section E.3 summarizes what everybody can do to embrace transparent, open, and replicable research.
