“…While there is no universal definition of transparency (Sisco & McCorkindale, 2013), scholars agree that it is related to openness, truthfulness, public information needs (Baker, 2008;Rawlins, 2009), credibility (Miller & Sinclair, 2009;Plaisance, 2007;Sisco & McCorkindale, 2013) and trust (Miller & Sinclair, 2009;Plaisance, 2007;Rawlins, 2009).
