This course aims to train graduate students at the Pardee RAND Graduate School in Policy Analysis and researchers at the RAND Corporation in the essential theories and methods of transparent, open, and reproducible research. This elective can be taken by graduate students with an analytic concentration in “Social and Behavioral Science” as well as RAND staff eligible to audit Pardee courses. After introductory sessions on the research transparency and open science movement, enrolled students will discuss and learn the essentials of the open science toolkit, namely: pre-registration of study methods and analysis plans; reproducible workflows; open research materials, code, data, and access; reporting guidelines for preparing research manuscripts; and replication.
