A collaborative effort involving 865 researchers has published new empirical evidence on reproducibility, robustness, and replicability of social and behavioral sciences research. The SCORE program's outcomes will contribute to strengthening how research is interpreted and communicated.
The Center for Open Science (COS) has welcomed two new board members, Chris Bourg and Marcus Munafò, to advance the next phase of its work on Lifecycle Open Science. The duo brings expertise in equitable open scholarship, research culture reform, and metascience.
The new framework outlines seven components that contribute to trustworthy research findings, including accountability, evaluable, and well-calibrated claims. It emphasizes dialogue, scrutiny, critique, and cumulative knowledge building over single standards or metrics.
The Center for Open Science has been awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to develop a community-driven strategic plan for preserving federally-funded scientific data. The project aims to complement existing initiatives by developing a framework for long-term stewardship of at-risk datasets and repositories.
The Center for Open Science has issued a Request for Proposals to develop and improve the Open Science Framework, a free project management platform for researchers. Selected partners will work closely with COS and its community to implement improvements aligned with community priorities.
The Center for Open Science (COS) has launched the Replicability Project: Health Behavior, a collaborative initiative to assess the replicability of quantitative health studies. The project will perform up to 60+ replications of empirical health behavior studies to provide crucial evidence about research reliability.
The Center for Open Science has launched the Predicting Replicability Challenge to accelerate the development of methods for evaluating research credibility. Teams will compete to develop algorithmic approaches that can accurately predict the likelihood of research claims being successfully replicated, with cash prizes ranging from $3,...
The Center for Open Science welcomes Daniel Correa and Amanda Kay Montoya to its Board of Directors, bringing expertise in science policy, innovation, and research methodology. Their appointments strengthen COS's mission to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility in scientific research.
Lifecycle Journal reimagines scholarly publishing with a community-driven approach to critically engage with research throughout the entire research lifecycle. The journal empowers researchers to share and refine their work using human-led, machine-assisted, and empirical credibility evaluations.
The Global Flourishing Study, a $43.4 million, five-year study of 200,000 individuals in 22 countries, has released its first sample dataset through the Center for Open Science (COS). The open-access data will enable researchers to develop hypotheses and analysis plans ahead of the full dataset release.
