psci-open-science-and-transparency
Use when meeting Psychological Science's open-science requirements. For submissions on or after 1 January 2024 the journal requires open data and materials (case-by-case exemptions), a Research Transparency Statement placed between the Introduction and Methods, persistent identifiers for shared content, and treats transparency limits and preregistration quality as factors in editorial decisions. Prepares compliance; it does not waive requirements.

It is a requirement, not a bonus. 2. **Research Transparency Statement.** A **required separate section placed between the Introduction and the Methods** for empirical manuscripts. It reports the availability of data, analysis script

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
