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

This is the skill that most distinguishes a Psychological Science submission. Since 1 January 2024 the journal has required open data and materials and a graded Research Transparency Statement — the badge era is over, and "limits on transparency will be a factor in editorial decisions." Prepare this early, not at acceptance.

When to trigger

• Building the data/materials deposits and the Research Transparency Statement
• Deciding whether (and how) to claim an exemption from sharing
• Linking preregistration and reporting its status
• A reviewer or editor flagged transparency or reproducibility
