Description

A journal-run disclosure and badge framework that authors use to document public data, materials, and preregistered research plans for recognition of open scientific practices.

Components

• Open Practices Disclosure form with badges for open data, open materials, and preregistered research plans: An Open Practices Disclosure form through which manuscripts can earn badges that "recognize open scientific practices: publicly available data, material, or preregistered research plans". Authors check the desired badge boxes and supply a permanent access path and confirmations for each badge; qualifying repositories include the Open Science Framework (OSF), Dataverse networks, and registries such as ClinicalTrials.gov. The form also permits an alternative note explaining circumstances where public sharing is not advisable. (Sarah Grünthal et al. (2024))

Claims
