Abstract

ABSTRACT Scientists across disciplines have begun to implement ‘open science’ principles and practices, which are designed to enhance the quality, transparency, and replicability of scientific research. Yet, studies examining the use of open science practices in social science fields such as psychology and economics show that awareness and use of such practices often is low. In gambling studies research, no studies to date have empirically investigated knowledge of and use of open science practices. In the present study, we collected survey data about awareness and use of open science practices from 86 gambling studies research stakeholders who had attended a major international gambling studies conference in May 2019. We found that – as hypothesized – a minority of gambling research stakeholders reported: 1) either some or extensive experience using open science research practices in general, and 2) either some or regular experience using specific open science practices, including study pre-registration, open materials/code, open data, and pre-print archiving. Most respondents indicated that replication was important for all studies in gambling research, and that genetic, neuroscience, and lab-based game characteristic studies were areas most in need of replication. Our results have important implications for open science education initiatives and for contemporary research methodology in gambling studies.
赌博研究人员对开放科学原则和实践的使用和看法:一份简短的报告
跨学科的科学家已经开始实施“开放科学”原则和实践,旨在提高科学研究的质量、透明度和可复制性。然而,研究开放科学实践在心理学和经济学等社会科学领域的使用情况表明,人们对这种实践的认识和使用程度往往很低。在赌博研究中,迄今为止没有任何研究对开放科学实践的知识和使用进行实证调查。在本研究中,我们收集了86名参与2019年5月大型国际赌博研究会议的赌博研究利益相关者关于开放科学实践意识和使用的调查数据。我们发现,正如假设的那样,少数博彩研究利益相关者报告:1)总体上有一些或广泛的开放科学研究实践经验,2)有一些或经常的特定开放科学实践经验,包括研究预注册、开放材料/代码、开放数据和预打印存档。大多数受访者表示,复制对赌博研究的所有研究都很重要,基因、神经科学和基于实验室的游戏特征研究是最需要复制的领域。我们的研究结果对开放科学教育倡议和当代赌博研究方法具有重要意义。
