Abstract "A Student’s Guide to Open Science explores the so-called “replication crisis” in psychology (the inherent difficulties in replicating or reproducing research results to test the robustness of findings) while delving into the ways that open science can address the crisis by transforming research practice. Students will develop a fundamental understanding of the origins and drivers of the crisis and learn how open science practices can enhance research transparency, replication, and reproducibility. With a handy, digestible guide for students and researchers alike on how to implement open science practices within their own workflow, as well as pedagogic teaching and learning activities that can be re-used by educators, Pennington’s new book is an essential guide to navigating the replication crisis. Key features of this book include: • An overview of landmark events that will mark the history of the replication crisis. • Case studies of classic psychological studies undergoing replication. • Test yourself activities to reinforce learning of key concepts, including an open science crossword! • Top tips for adopting open science practices, including study preregistration, Registered Reports, and open materials, code, and data. • Useful illustrations to aid understanding and facilitate revision. New concepts and practices can often feel overwhelming, but this book aims to help students and educators pick what they want from the ‘open science buffet’ and return to the table to fill up their plates again and again. Remember, we are all students of open science and will be for many years to come!"
