2022.09.17: Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) rule for 'Top-Tier' Journals.

 

In parallel with the Open Science Initiative (https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/resources/open-science)

 

Many Top tier journals recently enforced the application of "Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP)" rule for all manuscripts. 

https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/apl/index?tab=5#tabs

 

 

The transparency and Openness section is frequently required to be added in the Research Method part as a sub-subsection. 

 

This is an example of Kean/WKU research colloquium's TOP compliance.  

 

2022.09.20: A Top-tier journal suggests using "OSF (Open Science Framework) as a data / code / research analysis sharing.
