Transparency is the robust write up or description of research, such that it is clear and explicit. | All data collection processes are described clearly within publication methods and metadata. | data collection, data cleaning/preparation, data integration, data analysis, data sharing, code (cleaning, integration, analysis), data, software, documentation |
Accessibility is a multi-faceted term encompassing both sharing and discoverability. Shared information such as a research dataset or analysis code must be discoverable, in a form that people can use, and available. Discoverability is defined as being in a location that enables the finding of the data and supplemental materials. | A query script used in data collection procedures is shared in a freely accessible and easily discoverable database. |
