Abstract

Over the past decade, psychology has experienced an unprecedented emphasis on the transparency and accessibility of science. This movement has challenged the scientific community to evaluate and improve how we design, conduct, and report research. Law and Human Behavior has not been exempt from this trend. In 2017, Editor-in-Chief Margaret Bull Kovera introduced open science badges to recognize and incentivize the public sharing of data, materials, preregistration plans, and analyses. To date, Law and Human Behavior has published 53 articles that earned at least one badge. In 2019, the incoming editorial team implemented the first phase of the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP)Guidelines, focusing on data and research design transparency (McAuliff et al., 2019).
