In terms of open practices at LulLABy:

 

• We aim to publish in journals that offer open access options (e.g., Cognitive Development), requesting open access whenever feasible, and depositing articles in open repositories (e.g., bioRxiv).

• Whenever possible, we preregister our methods and hypotheses on open science platforms such as the Open Science Framework (OSF).

• All scripts and datasets are shared on GitHub under an open license, with full documentation and metadata, in line with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) as outlined by Wilkinson et al. (2016). (Wilkinson et al. (2016). Scientific Data.)

• We actively engage in free and open-access science communication efforts (e.g., the LulLABy Experience) to promote our research to a broader audience.

 

In the future:

 

• We would like to have all preprints, master’s theses, and research datasets deposited on OSF.

• We will prioritize the use of genuinely open-source and freely accessible programming environments (e.g., R, Python, C++), ensuring both the software and its underlying code are openly available to the public.​
