Open Science Basics: Training for Education Researchers

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Many education scholars strongly support behaviors that promote openness and transparency in research. This support, however, is limited in practice due to a lack of available training outlining practical first steps researchers can take to implement open science practices. This session is designed to provide useful training to researchers who have limited experience with open science, but are looking to engage in more transparent research practice. It includes guidance on pre-registration, reporting guidelines, data sharing and how to comply with open access journal policies.
