Open Science: Why and how to do preregistration?
The Open Science workshops are back! In this third Open Science workshop, we will go into the whys: why you should not ignore open science, why you should do preregistration, and just as important: the hows of doing preregistration.
The first part of the workshop will be led by Dirk van Gorp, and will be a general introduction to Open Science. The Open Science movement has been speeding up considerably in Europe these past few years. We see a slow but steady rise of increasingly ambitious plans to make open science the norm, even on a national level. Though some view this as a potential added burden to an already heavy work load, there are reason for academia to press the issue – and good ones at that. In fact, a move to increased transparency benefits the individual researcher!
After a short break, Anita Eerland will guide us through how and why to preregister your research. Preregistration can be defined as “stating as clearly as possible what you are going to do before actually doing it in a way that is verifiable by others”. In other words, science done right. She will also debunk common misconceptions about preregistration, and point us to some useful tools (e.g., the Open Science Framework) and resources.
No preparation needed, but please (pre)register if you want to attend!
