Title: Doing Open Science: You Have Choices

Speaker: Lorne Campbell, University of Western Ontario


Abstract: There has been an ongoing discussion of the problems associated with the typical
methodological practices of social and personality psychologists the past few years. Part of this
discussion has included a number of suggested changes to these typical practices, many falling
under the banner of open science (e.g., transparency of the research process, data sharing,
sharing code, as well as following pre-specified data analytic plans). In this talk I will discuss
specific instances of researchers engaging in these open science practices, highlighting the
choices made during the research process. The focus will be not on what can be done to achieve
more open science, but what is being done. Lastly, I will discuss how these open science
practices can help advance theory by offering more risky tests of hypotheses.
