Academic publisher Emerald Publishing has become a signatory to Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines, a framework supported by the Center for Open Science (COS) that increases the reproducibility of research through the adoption of transparent research practices.
All Emerald journals will encourage adoption of TOP transparency standards, in particular working with the COS to improve the openness of data and research methods and design. As a starting point, as part of their author guidelines, all Emerald journals now encourage authors to cite data as they would an article, which gives data creators more credit for sharing data in repositories.
Becoming a TOP signatory forms part of Emerald's engagement and support for an open research workflow, and position that 'Open' means more than just Open Access.
The Center for Open Science is also encouraging researchers to take on its $1 Million Pre-registration Challenge.
