Up to 50% of research funding is wasted on irreproducible studies.

Reproducibility is the cornerstone of trustworthy science. Certain research practices significantly increase the likelihood that results can be independently verified.

Here are 4 essential practices that help make research more reproducible:

📂 Data & Code Sharing
The conclusions of a paper are only as strong as the data and code they are based on. Sharing raw datasets and analysis scripts allows others to validate your findings, reproduce your results, or build on your work. It is a vital part of open and collaborative science.

📖 Open Access
Making your paper openly accessible increases its visibility, allows others to review your work, and democratizes access to knowledge. When everyone can read your research, not just those with institutional access, science progresses faster and more fairly.

🔍 Preregistration
Before conducting a study, researchers can preregister their hypothesis, methodology, and analysis plan. This reduces the risk of ad hoc decisions such as p-hacking or HARKing (hypothesizing after results are known), and increases transparency. Studies that follow preregistered protocols tend to yield more robust and reproducible results.
