Open Science & Transparency (jpsp-open-science-and-transparency)

JPSP implements APA's Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines at Level 2 (Requirement) (effective July 1, 2021) and requires JARS reporting. Transparency is not optional polish: you must state the availability of data, code, and materials and whether the work was preregistered. Note JPSP does not offer open-science badges — the requirement is the disclosure itself, not a badge.

When to trigger

• Preparing the transparency disclosures before submission
• Posting data/code/materials to a trusted repository
• Deciding what to preregister or whether to pursue a Registered Report
• Writing the data-availability / preregistration statements
