Concerns about replicability, reproducibility and transparency of research have ushered in a set of practices under the umbrella of ‘open research’. Consequently, many new initiatives have been developed representing procedural (i.e. behaviours and sets of commonly used practices in the research process), structural (new norms, rules, infrastructure and incentives), and community-based change (working groups, networks). This poster will outline the findings of a systematic mapping review of international initiatives that enhance awareness and uptake of open research practices in psychology. A total of 187 initiatives were categorised into themes of procedural (n = 30, toolkits/software), structural (n = 70 policies/strategies) and community-based change (n = 87 working groups/networks). The review highlights that open research is progressing at pace through numerous initiatives sharing the common goal of reforming research culture. Through this mapping review, we hope to encourage collaboration and coordination between individuals, organizations, institutions, publishers and funders.
