Abstract: Lay Summary Doubts over the credibility of science can be lifted by open research practices. Low reliability (absence of biases) and reproducibility (transparent workflow) result in a low probability of independent studies reaching the same outcome (lack of replicability). To circumvent these issues, we discuss how the Transparency and Openness Promotion guidelines, proposed by the Center for Open Science, along with a software engineering toolkit allow researchers to embrace the open science process.
