ppsych-transparency-and-reproducibility

Use when meeting open-science and reproducibility obligations for a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) piece — repository deposit for any original data, a documented and ideally preregistered systematic protocol for meta-science, and exemplary disclosure (PoPS is an open-science leader). Builds the transparency layer; it does not draft the synthesis (ppsych-organizing-framework) or run the submission preflight (ppsych-submission).

# Transparency & Reproducibility (ppsych-transparency-and-reproducibility)

## When to trigger

- The piece reports or reuses any original data and you must make it available
- The piece is **meta-science** and its systematic coverage/coding must be reproducible
- You are deciding what to preregister, deposit, and disclose for a field-shaping reform piece
- You want the open-science layer to be drafted from live identifiers, not promised at acceptance

## Why this matters more at PoPS than almost anywhere

PoPS is a **leading venue for the open-science and replication movement** — much of the meta-science that reshaped psychology's methods appeared here. The journal's readers and reviewers hold reform-adjacent work to its own standard: a piece arguing for transparency that is itself opaque loses all authority. The bar is **exemplary practice**, especially for the reform/meta-science pieces that are PoPS's signature. Build the transparency layer early so the statements are written from real DOIs and OSF links, not aspirations.
