Research transparency refers to the practice of making research methods, data, and results easily accessible and understandable to stakeholders and the public. This includes providing detailed information about study design, data collection methods, statistical analysis, and any potential conflicts of interest. Transparent research practices promote reproducibility, accountability, and trust in the scientific community. Researchers who prioritize transparency are more likely to share their data, code, and research materials with others, allowing for independent verification and validation of their findings. Transparent research practices also help to address issues such as publication bias, selective reporting, and research misconduct.
