justify;">Openness in scholarly communication takes many forms. One of the most commonly debated in academic spheres is undoubtedly open access – the free, equal, and unrestricted access to research papers. As well as open access, there are also great pushes being made in the realms of open data and open metrics. Together, these all come under an umbrella of ‘<a href="http://whyopenresearch.org/">open research</a>’.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">One important aspect of open research is peer review. At ScienceOpen, we advocate maximum transparency in the peer review process, based on the concept that research should be an open dialogue and not locked away in the dark. We have two main peer review initiatives for our content: <a href="http://about.scienceopen.com/peer-review-by-endorsement-pre/">peer review by endorsement</a>, and <a href="http://about.scienceopen.com/what-is-post-publication-peer-review/">post-publication peer review</a>.</p> <figure id="attachment_1907" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1907" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://blog.scienceopen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Foster-OpenSci.png" rel="attachment wp-att-1907"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-1907" src="https://blog.scienceopen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Foster-OpenSci-466x207.png" alt="On the complex web that is Open Research.

Similarly to ScienceOpen, is grounded in the belief that openness and transparency are core values of science. The core of the initiative is to encourage reviewers of research papers to make open practices a pre-condition for a more comprehensive review process. You can read more about the Initiative <a href="http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/3/1/150547?cpetoc" target="_blank">here</a> in a paper (open access, obviously) published via the Royal Society.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Central to the PROI are five simple <a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/the-initiative/">guidelines</a>:</p> <ol style="text-align: justify;"> <li><strong>Data should be made publicly available.</strong><strong>All data needed for evaluation and reproduction of the published research should be made publicly available, online, hosted by a reliable third party. </strong><a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/making-your-data-public/">[I’m an author; help me comply!]</a></li> <li><strong>Stimuli and materials should be made publicly available.</strong>Stimulus materials, experimental instructions and programs, survey questions, and other similar materials should be made publicly available, hosted by a reliable third party. <a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/making-your-materials-public/">[I’m an author; help me comply!]</a></li> <li><strong>In case some data or materials are not open, clear reasons (e.g., legal, ethical constraints, or severe impracticality) should be given why</strong>. These reasons should be outlined in the manuscript.<a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/exceptions-to-open-practices/">[I’m an author; help me comply!]</a></li> <li><strong>Documents containing details for interpreting any files or code, and how to compile and run any software programs should be made available with the above items.</strong>In addition, licensing or other restrictions on their use should be made clear. <a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/licensing-issues/">[I’m an author; help me comply!]</a></li> <li><strong>The location of all of these files should be advertised in the manuscript, and all files should be hosted by a reliable third party.</strong>The choice of online file hosting should be made to maximize the probability that the files will be accessible for many years, and to minimize the probability that they will be lost for trivial reasons (e.g., accidental deletions, moving files). <a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/making-your-data-public/">[I’m an author; help me comply!]</a></li> </ol> <p style="text-align: justify;">Stephanie Dawson, CEO of ScienceOpen, and Jon Tennant, Communications Director, have signed the PROI, both on behalf of ScienceOpen and independently, respectively, joining more than 200 other researchers to date. <a href="https://opennessinitiative.org/join-the-initiative/">Joining only takes a few seconds of your time</a>, and would help to solidify a real commitment to making the peer review process more transparent, and helping to realise the wider goal of an open research environment.</p> <footer class="so-c-b"> <div class="so-m-t-10"><div class="so-b3-container so--5 so-secondary"><span
