Pre-registration and Registered Reports can help diagnose the verifiability of science. However, they cannot inform about when or why research deviated from the intended plan. Moreover, questionable research practices (QRPs) will prevail throughout any research process —even completely honest researchers will make mistakes.
Radical Transparency (RT) is the practice of not only making public research outcomes (research plans, protocols, code, data, results) but also the whole process of developing them, in a “collaborative open-source-like” fashion. While RT may help improve the openness and transparency of science, many questions remain about what it really means and how we can implement it:
What is (not) RT?
Can RT be actually achieved? How, if so?
Is it worth pursuing RT?
How do current/future technologies afford the requirements of RT?
What are the uses (and misuses) of RT?
This unconference intends to address unknowns like these.
