Abstract: “Science should be ‘show me’, not ‘trust me’!” Through this phrase, Stark (2018, 613) discusses the need to repeat scientific studies to confer robustness to research results. The replicability of works is viewed as the golden standard for scientific research, given that transparency is the central requisite needed to replicate or reproduce studies. (Janz, 2015; Marques, 2019). Therefore, transparency in business studies is something that is crucial to their credibility, and it also has various impacts, as noted by The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA - https://sfdora.org/), and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE - https://publicationethics.org/data) (Mendes-Da-Silva, 2018). But, how many of us have assured the transparency of our research results, by sharing data, materials, and/or code (duly commented) used in qualitative, statistical or econometric analyses (Gandrud, 2018)?
