Measuring Ourselves: A Self-Assessment Tool for Open Research Practices

Open research enhances transparency and reproducibility, yet researchers often lack tools to evaluate their own practices. This talk introduces a self-assessment tool designed to help researchers measure and improve their engagement with open research principles, from data sharing to preregistration. I will outline its structure, key features, and practical applications, highlighting how it provides actionable feedback. By integrating self-assessment into research workflows, we can drive a cultural shift toward greater openness and accountability.
