“…Rather than constraining action, open science approaches may offer a structure for establishing agreements about key expectations, workflow, data-sharing, dissemination, and reproducing findings, and for reviewing and revising these agreements as the research progresses. For example, collaborative partnerships between researchers and community members can include equitable access to and use of datasets (Gennetian et al, 2020).…”

“…For example, disparities in financial, human, and physical resources across research institutions can be mitigated by the free availability and reuse of protocols, data, code, software, and materials from previous research (Gennetian, Tamis-LeMonda, & Frank, 2020). In addition, open access articles can be read online or downloaded freely by stakeholders not affiliated with research institutions that have journal subscriptions, such as non-governmental organizations, policymakers, and engaged citizens.…”

“…As grants and contracts also influence career opportunities, funders can implement policies and procedures to promote the transparency, openness, and reproducibility of the research that they sponsor. To ensure maximal return on their investments, funders could require that researchers be transparent about their procedures and share all products of their funded scientific research (Gennetian et al, 2020). and quality of data sharing by principal investigators is suboptimal, even when support for and willingness to share data are high (Ohmann, Moher, Siebert, Motschall, & Naudet, 2021).…”

“…In addition, researchers have expressed concern about work being "scooped", excessive criticism by others, and tension with intellectual property restrictions in the context of transparent, open research (Gilmore et al, 2020). To allay these concerns, appropriate embargo periods could provide researchers with protected time to be the first to analyze their data and publish findings, followed by appropriate rewards for sharing and citation of data, code, and materials after this embargo period (Gennetian et al, 2020;. Open science reforms also need to avoid reinforcing existing inequitable power structures by ensuring stakeholders from under-resourced settings (Nabyonga-Orem, Asamani, Nyirenda, & Abimbola, 2020), historically underrepresented and excluded groups (Dutta et al, 2021;Fox et al, 2021;Sabik, Matsick, McCormick-Huhn, & Cole, 2021), and diverse epistemic backgrounds (Devezer, Nardin, Baumgaertner, & Buzbas, 2019;Siegel, Calogero, Eaton, & Roberts, 2021)…”

The field of prevention science aims to understand societal problems, identify effective interventions, and translate scientific evidence into policy and practice. There is growing interest among prevention scientists in transparency, openness, and reproducibility. Open science provides opportunities to align scientific practice with scientific ideals, accelerate scientific discovery, and broaden access to scientific knowledge. Open science also addresses key challenges to the credibility of prevention science, such as irreproducibility of results, selective non-reporting (publication bias, outcome reporting bias), and other detrimental research practices. The overarching goal of this paper is to provide an overview of open science practices for prevention science researchers, and to identify key stakeholders and resources to support implementation of these practices. We consider various aspects of applying open science practices in prevention science, such as identifying evidence-based interventions. In addition, we call for the adoption of prevention science practices in the open science movement, such as the use of program planning principles to develop, implement, and evaluate open science efforts. We also identify some challenges that need to be considered in the transition to a transparent, open, and reproducible prevention science. Throughout, we identify activities that will strengthen the reliability and efficiency of prevention science, facilitate access to its products and outputs, and promote collaborative and inclusive participation in research activities. We conclude with the notion that prevention scientists are well-positioned to engage with the open science movement, especially given their expertise in examining and addressing complex social and behavioral issues. By embracing transparency, openness, and reproducibility, prevention science can better achieve its mission to advance evidence-based solutions to promote well-being.

“…One method for encouraging collaboration across researchers is moving towards an open science framework, where hypotheses, measures, and findings are shared with the broader field prior to publication (Davis-Kean & Ellis, 2019;Gennetian, Tamis-LeMonda, & Frank, 2020). Through online repositories of pre-registered studies as well as presentations of pre-registered work at conferences, researchers can solicit feedback from others in the field with diverse perspectives in a way that is often not possible once a study is completed.…”

Next directions in measurement of the home mathematics environment: An international and interdisciplinary perspective

et al. 2021

This article synthesizes findings from an international virtual conference, funded by the United States National Science Foundation, focused on the home mathematics environment (HME). In light of inconsistencies and gaps in research investigating relations between the HME and children’s outcomes, the purpose of the conference was to discuss actionable steps and considerations for future work. The conference was composed of international researchers with a wide range of expertise and backgrounds. Presentations and discussions during the conference centered broadly on the need to better operationalize and measure the HME as a construct—focusing on issues related to child, family, and community factors, country and cultural factors, and the cognitive and affective characteristics of caregivers and children. Results of the conference and a subsequent writing workshop include a synthesis of core questions and key considerations for the field of research on the HME. Findings highlight the need for the field at large to use multi-method measurement approaches to capture nuances in the HME, and to do so with increased international and interdisciplinary collaboration, open science practices, and communication among scholars.

An open developmental science will be more rigorous, robust, and impactful

Developmental science poses some of the most profound problems in all of science and some of the most difficult ones. Because the answers are so important to human health and well-being, it's essential that researchers do everything possible to accelerate discovery and promote reproducibility and rigour. In this essay, we argue that fully embracing open practices-especially data and materials sharing-will achieve the goals of making developmental science more rigorous, robust, and impactful while simultaneously accelerating discovery.
