Turning abstract policy into real-world practice is challenging, and sometimes messy. In the coming months, COS will highlight how we and other in the research community are putting the TOP Guidelines into action in real research settings.

From Policy to Practice: COS’s Commitment to Applying the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines
We recognize that policy efforts on their own can sometimes seem abstract — and even idealistic — to translate into real-world adoption. Over the next six months, we’ll be giving you a view into the nuanced and at times messy process of transforming policy into meaningful action.

If you want your work to be reproducible, you have to remember that others don't have the insider knowledge you have. You have to be explicit.

Round 1 results of our predicting replicability challenge are released!
The Challenge capitalizes on interest in using AI methods to do scientific tasks. Ten teams tried to predict replication outcomes from unreleased SCORE findings.
Results? Not so hot!

Super exciting to see COS committing to putting TOP into practice in its own roles as a publisher, funder, and research performing organization. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the implementation for the research team - so much great metascience coming out of this group.
