Community, Equity, and Cultural Change in Open Research: A Response to Open Peer Commentaries

Abstract

We thank our esteemed colleagues who provided insightful commentaries on our feature article "(Why) are open research practices the future for the study of Language Learning?" (Marsden & Morgan-Short). Their responses very usefully illustrated and amplified points in our review, provided nuance and extension to some of our ideas, and pushed us to make stronger statements and deeper considerations of some of the facets and consequences of open research practices.Three common and prominent themes seemed to emerge from the responses, which we identify as: Community; Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; and Changing Culture, and we organize our own response around these themes. We note that some of the issues raised by our generous commentators CRediT author statement -Emma Marsden: conceptualization (equal); investigation (equal); writing-original draft preparation (equal); writing-review & editing (equal). Kara Morgan-Short: conceptualization (equal); investigation (equal); writing-original draft preparation (equal); writing-review & editing (equal).
