Organizational structure for open collaboration

Governance

  • Setup a clear structure for how to conduct the research considering open science in each step
  • Build in steps for error correction

Workflow

  • designing the project - preregistration - creating the experiment - recruiting and data collection - data analysis - dissemination

Barriers

Barriers for open science

  • Not everyone have the same prerequisites. There are conscious tradeoffs between trying to be as open as possible, and the feasibility of applying an open practice
  • Some practices can take additional time
  • For the workflow to work, lab members must follow it quite closely
  • The learning curve can be steep, especially for people who arrive from more goal-oriented labs
