Small numbers of researchers in psychology and other disciplines began calling attention to questionable research practices (QRPs) and their negative impacts decades ago. Many of these same researchers proposed actions to counter QRPs, but these proposals were largely ignored.
Despite many years of calls of change, only recently has the ‘credibility revolution’ begun sweeping through multiple subfields of psychology (and the social sciences more broadly). This credibility revolution involves widespread grassroots endorsement of principles of open science designed to reduce bias. The revolution has also involved a growing infrastructure devoted to open science and the spread of policies to support this agenda. Why is this finally happening now, and what can we learn from the many recent successes in psychology?
The big question of this SIPS unconference session is, how do we bring the credibility revolutions to other disciplines?
