The project will expose bachelors and masters students to open science, a topic that has not yet been included in curricula at Universidad de Cuenca. With small practical tasks, participants will be guided through a hands-on experience of how to make empirical research transparent, why it is so important, the frustration that accompanies engaging with non-transparent research, the challenges involved in making one’s own research transparent, how manageable it can be when following established guidelines, and the rewards of conducting reproducible research. Course materials in Spanish as well as data from Latin America about the transparency of empirical literature will be made available to the general public through the Open Science Framework and the ReplicationWiki.
