Abstract: Author guidelines for journals could help to promote transparency, openness, and reproducibility Transparency, openness, and reproducibility are readily recognized as vital features of science ( 1 , 2 ). When asked, most scientists embrace these features as disciplinary norms and values ( 3 ). Therefore, one might expect that these valued features would be routine in daily practice. Yet, a growing body of evidence suggests that this is not the case ( 4 – 6 ).
