Data & Code

Data Citation & Transparency

Authors must provide proper citations for all data sources. We encourage sharing all relevant research data via reputable repositories to promote transparency.

Analysis Code Transparency

Analysis code should be presented in a clear, organized manner with comprehensive documentation outlining each analysis stage and algorithm usage.

Standard Formats Ensuring compatibility for others to reuse code without obstacles.
Maintenance Commitment to updating code and addressing queries from researchers.

Methodology & Reporting

Materials Transparency

Detailed information about instruments, questionnaires, or digital versions of tools used to enhance replicability.

Reporting Guidelines

Adherence to established guidelines (CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE) is mandatory.

Standard of Reporting Policy →

Study & Analysis Preregistration

"By documenting design and analysis plans in advance, researchers establish a clear record of intentions, helping differentiate between confirmatory and exploratory analyses."

Validation & Recognition

Replication Studies

Replication is a fundamental aspect of the scientific process. We encourage rigorous duplication of methodology and analysis to independently assess original results.

Registered Reports

Peer review based on study design before data collection to mitigate publication bias.

Open Science Badges

Recognizing and incentivizing open research practices.
