AbstractWe introduce the Politics and the Life Sciences special issue on Psychophysiology, Cognition, and Political Differences. This issue represents the second special issue funded by the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences that adheres to the Open Science Framework for registered reports (RR). Here pre-analysis plans (PAPs) are peer-reviewed and given in-principle acceptance (IPA) prior to data being collected and/or analyzed, and are published contingent upon the preregistration of the study being followed as proposed. Bound by a common theme of the importance of incorporating psychophysiological perspectives into the study of politics, broadly defined, the articles in this special issue feature a unique set of research questions and methodologies. In the following, we summarize the findings, discuss the innovations produced by this research, and highlight the importance of open science for the future of political science research.

Preregistration and registered reports are two promising open science practices for increasing transparency in the scientific process. In particular, they create transparency around one of the most consequential distinctions in research design: the data analytics decisions made before data collection and post-hoc decisions made afterwards. Preregistration involves publishing a time-stamped record of a study design before data collection or analysis. Registered reports are a publishing approach that facilitates the evaluation of research without regard for the direction or magnitude of findings. In this paper, I evaluate opportunities and challenges for these open science methods, offer initial guidelines for their use, explore relevant tensions around new practices, and illustrate examples from educational psychology and social science. This paper was accepted for publication in Educational Psychologist volume 56, issue 2; scheduled for April 2021, as a part of a special issue titled, “Educational psychology in the open science era.”This preprint has been peer reviewed, but not copy edited by the journal and may differ from the final published version.

Recently, scholars have noted how several “old school” practices—a host of well-regarded, long-standing scientific norms—in combination, sometimes compromise the credibility of research. In response, other scholarly fields have developed several “open science” norms and practices to address these credibility issues. Against this backdrop, this special issue explores the extent to which and how these norms should be adopted and adapted for educational psychology and education more broadly. Our introductory article contextualizes the special issue’s goals by: overviewing the historical context that led to open science norms (particularly in medicine and psychology); providing a conceptual map to illustrate the interrelationships between various old school as well as open science practices; and then describing educational psychologists’ opportunity to benefit from and contribute to the translation of these norms to novel research contexts. We conclude by previewing the articles in the special issue.

This article introduces the special issue of The Qualitative Report, which brings together five papers exploring the scope, depth, history and future of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS), originally presented at a conference in Rotterdam in 2016. The selected papers provide insights into the history of the QDAS community and future developments of the software packages, uses of QDAS for tasks beyond text analysis, the promise of a common exchange format for researchers using different packages, and strategies for putting to rest, once and for all, persistent misconceptions about QDAS that continue to circulate in the literature and during education and training events. We also suggest a “wish list” for future QDAS developments, including the ability to import e-books, full integration with data mining approaches, and engagement in the Open Science movement.

This is the second issue of the Open Schools Journal for Open Science created an interest in the education community in Greece and in other European countries. The organisers of the Student Conference on Research and Science that took place in Greece in 2018 after the success of presenting the conference’ findings of their first conference expressed again their interest to present the valuable work that has been presented during the 2nd Student Conference on Research and Science. This is the first of a series of four issues which will be published until July 2020 and it contains 22 articles written by students from across Greece in collaboration with their teachers/mentors. Have a look at the welcome note from the programme committee of the conference.All articles in this special issue are written in Greek.

Extensive debate and criticism of potentially common, yet questionable research practices that lead to biased findings within social and health sciences has emerged over the last decade. These challenges likely apply to educational psychology, though the field has been slow to address them. This article discusses current research norms, strategic solutions proposed under the broad rubric of “Open Science”, and the implications of both for the way research syntheses in educational psychology are conducted and the quality of the information they produce. Strategies such as preregistration, open materials and data, and registered reports stand to address significant threats to the validity of research synthesis. These include challenges associated with publication, dissemination, and selective reporting biases, comprehensive information retrieval, and opportunities to execute unique analytic approaches. A final issue is the development of parallel solutions that address biases specific to the decision making of researchers conducting and evaluating research syntheses.

Pre-registration and registered reports are two of the most promising open science practices for increasing transparency in the scientific process. Pre-registration involves publishing a timestamped record of a study design, ideally before data collection and analysis, so that research consumers can discern which analytic decisions were set a priori and which were changed after seeing data. Registered reports take the idea of pre-registration one step further, and provide peer review at the pre-registration stage. Researchers submit a Phase I manuscript that contains the introduction, background and context, and methods section of a study, and these Phase I manuscripts are peer reviewed. If reviewed positively, manuscripts are given in-principle acceptance, where the editors agree that if the researchers conduct the study as pre-registered--or document the deviations from their plan--the study will be published without regard for the direction or magnitude of findings. In this manner, studies are judged by whether they address important questions and use well-designed methods, not on the basis of reaching specific benchmarks for significance or effect size. This article illustrates the emerging range of approaches to pre-registration and registered reports with examples from a variety of studies and from the first special issue in educational research devoted to Registered Reports.PLEASE DO NOT CITE YET:This article is part of a forthcoming journal Special Issue on Open Science in Education and currently under review.
