Bare-all Research Initiative in Psychology

http://centerforopenscience.org/

A group of psychologists are launching a project they hope will make studies in their field radically more transparent. They have setup the Center for Open Science. It is collaborating with an established journal, Perspectives on Psychological Science, to solicit work from authors who are willing to work completely in the open and have their studies replicated. Authors will be asked to first publish an experimental design and then, after a public vetting, collect data. Findings come in a separate publication. Authors would get credit for all steps in this process: experimental designs, peer review, delivering results, and replicating them.
