Promoting open science and reproducibility

There is growing recognition that the incentive structure in psychology and neuroscience undermines reproducibility by encouraging publication bias, significance chasing, low statistical power, hindsight bias, lack of replication and lack of data sharing.

Together with our external partners, including the Center for Open Science, we are committed to developing solutions that reward best practice in hypothesis-driven science, including the Registered Reports initiative and the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines.
