Psychology is a largely western enterprise. However, many psychologists across the world are attempting to correct this by studying their own cultures. On the other hand, a number of journals and other publications, especially based in India, are largely dubious. For example, Indian academics lead the world in publications in such journals. In this workshop, we highlight a methodological innovation that might foster trust in psychology to the larger public and to our scientist-peers here and abroad. The session included troubleshooting queries related to the academic publishing process, as well as hands-on experience in identifying and avoiding predatory journals. We also highlighted processes to promote transparency and replicability as a practice among social psychologists in India and elsewhere. Such practices relate to ethics, and form a newer tool to communicate our findings. The workshop was followed by a lecture by Prof. Michael Muthukrishna, Associate Professor of Economic Psychology at the London School of Economics. His research focuses on highlighting cross-cultural differences and measuring cultural distance. We encourage initial collaborations and discussion in this domain with reference to personality and social psychology, as well as partnerships among researchers and students.
