Abstract

Open science, that is, open and transparent research, is a promising way out of the crisis of confidence in the empirical social sciences. To actively engage in and support this development as a researcher, scholars suggest publishing information at the end of the research process open material, data, code and, optimally, a preregistration of the project at the beginning of the process. Preregistration involves the description of conceptual and methodological plans, that is, exact hypotheses, study design, assessed variables, and statistical analyses. In this article, we introduce two options for preregistration via aspredicted.org and via osf.io in a step-by-step manner, both suiting different demands e. g., experimental projects, secondary analyses, observational and interview studies . Moreover, we answer questions regarding the opportunities and limitations of open science. Beyond the integration of open science elements into one's own research, it could also be well integrated into undergraduate teaching. The open science development is closely connected with the hope that the values and principles of open science represent an important pillar within research and teaching of sport and exercise sciences and within the evaluation of scientific performances.
