Transparency in research refers to the practice of making research processes, methodologies, data, and findings openly accessible and visible to others. This includes being clear and explicit about the aims, methods, and limitations of a study, as well as providing access to raw data, analysis code, and publications. Transparency is important in research as it helps to build trust and credibility in the research community, allows for reproducibility and replication of studies, and enables better evaluation and scrutiny of research findings. It also promotes accountability and integrity in research practices. Researchers can promote transparency in their work by pre-registering studies, using open access publishing platforms, sharing data and code openly, and following best practices for reporting research findings. Transparent research practices help to enhance the quality and reliability of research outcomes, benefiting both researchers and the wider scientific community.
