Abstract
Watch the VIDEO.Recent years have seen a revolution in publishing, and large support for open access publishing. There has been a slower acceptance and transition to other open science principles such as open data, open materials, and preregistration. To accelerate the transition and make open science the new standard, the collaborative replications and education project (CREP; http://osf.io/wfc6u/)) was launched in 2013, hosted on the Open Science Framework (osf.io). OSF is like a preprint, collecting partial data with each individual contributors project. CREP introduces open science at the start of academic research, facilitating student research training in open science and solidifying behavioral science results. The CREP team attempts to achieve this by inviting contributors to replicate one of several replication studies selected for scientific impact and suitability for undergraduates to complete during one academic term. Contributors follow clear protocols with students interacting with a CREP team that reviews the materials and video of the procedure to ensure quality data collection while students are learning science practices and methods. By combining multiple replications from undergraduates across the globe, the findings can be pooled to conduct meta-analysis and so contribute to generalizable and replicable research findings. CREP is careful to not interpret any single result. CREP has recently joined forces with the psychological science accelerator (PsySciAcc), a globally distributed network of psychological laboratories accelerating the accumulation of reliable and generalizable results in the behavioral sciences. The Department of Psychology at UiT is part of the network and has two ongoing CREP studies, maintaining open science practices early on. In this talk, we will present our experiences of conducting transparent replicable research, and experience with preprints from a supervisor and researcher perspective.
Highlights
Publication of data-collection and analysis plan before collecting the data “Gold” pre-registration - Submit study plan to a journal - Acceptance before start of data-collection “Silver” pre-registration - Publish study plan on the internet (e.g., OSF) - Collect data and refer to pre-registration document
Share Collaborative replication and education project (CREP) progress page with new contributor put link to student OSF page on our “in progress projects” on OSF page Update CREP progress Update CREP progress update CREP progress, update OSF page moving approved study in Researchers and Findings page email contributors and ask them to add component “What I learned from the CREP project?”
Reviewers review OSF page and original manuscript, identify any issue that would impact data collection; identify any suggestions for improving communication on OSF page; make sure page was forked from study page check data files are readable; data honesty statement; results reported correctly; study was preregistered; wiki descriptions of each component are informative; check to make sure the N > than minimum required
