Learn about…
☂️ Open Science
Open science is an umbrella term for a set of practices aimed at making scientific research, data, and dissemination accessible to all.
✅ Preregistration
Preregistration is the practice of documenting and publicly sharing the research plan and hypotheses before conducting a study to increase transparency and reduce bias.
📐 Open Methods
Open methods involve the transparent sharing of research methodologies, protocols, and processes, allowing others to replicate, verify, and build upon the original research.
💽 Open Data
Open data refers to data that is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and share without restrictions, promoting transparency, innovation, and collaboration.
🔓 Open Access & Self-Archiving
Open access is the practice of providing unrestricted online access to scholarly research, allowing anyone to read, download, and share it freely.
🍎 Open Educational Resources
Open educational resources are freely accessible, openly licensed materials used for teaching and learning, allowing users to legally use, modify, and distribute them.

Our Mission
What: We are a working group of researchers and clinicians dedicated to disseminating knowledge about open science practices to clinicians and researchers in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) and beyond.
Who: We aim to educate a diverse group of partners—researchers, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, students, administrators, policymakers, publishers, and community members—on resources and strategies that enhance the reproducibility, transparency, and accessibility of science in our discipline.
Why: When researchers and clinicians embrace open science practices, it:
Increases transparency and reproducibility of research methods;
Fosters interdisciplinary clinical research collaboration;
Bridges the clinical and research gap in the CSD community by reducing barriers to accessing and understanding research.
How: Our organization promotes open science practices through various initiatives, including:
Sharing resources that aid in discovering openly available research materials and products;
Educating on methods for the management and sustainability of open science practices, including self-archiving, pre-registration, open data, and sharing materials;
Conducting research to explore the use and sustainability of various open science practices in our discipline;
Hosting initiatives such as ambassador programs, learning labs, podcasts, journal clubs, and workshops that empower researchers and clinicians to integrate open science practices into their work.
Vision: To advance the worldwide accessibility, reproducibility, and transparency of research, aiming to enhance speech, language, hearing, and swallowing for all people.
