Summary: The following paper addresses how the Center for Open Science’s (COS) mission is to increase the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of research. Toward this effort, they have created an online ecosystem where researchers can pre-register methods, publish data, share study materials, upload analysis code, and pre-write manuscripts. Good research is transparent so that it can be reproduced, so a set of guidelines for document research seems necessary. COS published a set of 8 transparency standards for academic journals can require to improve the quality of research they are publishing. These standards can extend to organizations when designing a data science culture. If data collected at an organization adhered to these standards then it adds credibility to their results and conclusions.
