学术期刊和资助机构越来越鼓励公开和透明的学术研究实践。行为分析研究的各种要素都是透明的,尽管将研究材料存档以支持未来的复制并不是常见的做法。本教程介绍了开放科学基金会提供的透明和开放实践指南的回顾,并提供了行为分析师如何在多个层面的研究中使用GitHub透明度的说明。GitHub是一种服务,可用于公开归档研究的各种元素,特别适合于技术、数据驱动和协作的研究。本文回顾了GitHub平台,并在几个示例中描述了创建帐户、初始化存储库、存档研究文件和将更改同步到远程存储库所需的步骤。在行为分析方面,对透明度和现代统计方法的呼吁增加的含义进行了讨论,并将GitHub等存档平台作为支持透明研究的一种手段进行了审查。
Open and transparent practices in scholarly research are increasingly encouraged by academic journals and funding agencies. Various elements of behavior analytic research are communicated transparently, though it is not common practice to archive study materials to support future replications. This tutorial presents a review of the Transparent and Open Practices guidelines provided by the Open Science Foundation and provides instructions on how behavior analysts can use GitHub transparency in research across multiple levels. GitHub is presented as a service that can be used to publicly archive various elements of research and is uniquely suited to research that is technical, data driven, and collaborative. The GitHub platform is reviewed, and the steps necessary to create an account, initialize repositories, archive study files, and synchronize changes to remote repositories are described in several examples. Implications of increased calls for transparency and modern statistical methods are discussed with regard to behavior analysis, and archiving platforms such as GitHub are reviewed as one means of supporting transparent research.
