Abstract: After 15 years of heightened concern about research quality (the “credibility crisis”), the landscape of scientific publishing is shifting. Authors are increasingly expected to adopt practices that enhance the transparency and rigour of their research, such as preregistration, data sharing, calibrating claims, and writing reproducible analyses. In this workshop, we will provide guidance on how to navigate these new expectations, drawing upon our experience as meta-researchers and journal editors.

Agenda:
• Short introduction to open science
• Writing the discussion section (addressing limitations, calibrating claims)
• Key principles of reproducible reports
• Editorial perspectives
• Q&A

Instructors:
Simine Vazire, Professor at the University of Melbourne and Editor-in-Chief of Psychological Science
Tom Hardwicke, Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney and Senior Statistics, Transparency, and Rigor (STAR) Editor at Psychological Science
Beth Clarke, PhD student at the University of Melbourne

Participants: The target audience are researchers in quantitative social science fields. The workshop will have a particular emphasis on psychology.
