Becoming an Open Scientist: Lessons from the Replication Crisis

The replication crisis in Psychology and other disciplines was the result of widely accepted but questionable research practices, a lack of transparency in the scientific reporting process, and the incentives that encouraged these. In response to this crisis, scientists across many fields are changing the conduct of research through adopting the principles and practices of Open Science. Its principles can be summarised as open source, open data, open access, and open workflow; and the practices that fulfil these principles are now being encouraged through the REF, journal and funder requirements, teaching and learning strategies, academic post advertisements, and dedicated scholarly societies and networks
