What Lecturers and Researchers in Business Management Need to Know About Open Science

Abstract

as well. Recently, additional concepts have entered the discourse, such as the pre-registration of research and open peer review. Some of the key practices within open science include:Open access refers to free, online, and unrestricted access to scientific documents published in academic journals. There are two main forms of open access: gold and green. Gold open access entails unrestricted access to the publication in all its forms from the outset. In this model, the authors or the journals' sponsoring or maintaining organizations usually bear the publication costs rather than the readers. On the other hand, green open access refers to publications made available for unrestricted access only after a specified embargo period. During this period, the publication can typically only be accessed if shared by the authors themselves.Open data and open materials encompass the ability to access freely, without any technical or legal restrictions, all data and supplementary materials associated with research findings, such as questionnaires, interview scripts, analysis protocols, and validation procedures. The public can access and reuse these materials without the authors' consent. This facilitates the ability of other researchers to build upon the original research, test different hypotheses, and repurpose the data for various studies (Figure 1).

“…Tutorial articles, following the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) (Wilkinson et al 2016), play a vital role in promoting open science (Martins 2021;Mendes-Da-Silva 2023), by detailing significant methods or application areas in an accessible yet comprehensive manner. This encourages adherence to best practices among researchers, minimizing the impact of positive publication bias.…”
