, research methods, materials and data are shared digitally around the world to tackle inquiries. Why is this important? Traditional research can yield low replicability of previous studies. This suggests—in part— questionable research practices, including manipulating data to fit hypotheses and desired results, or worse yet, data fabrication. A “replicability crisis” (i.e., the inability to replicate earlier research findings), is addressed with open science practices. Benefits of open science include
