Lab Policies

OPEN PRACTICES

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)[1].

-       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.

SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL

To help reduce the environmental impact of travel related to the lab:

​

  • Choose train, bus, or carpooling whenever possible for your trips to or from the lab.

  • Use tools such as Greentripper or EcoPassenger to measure and compare CO₂ emissions depending on the mode of transport.

  • If flying is unavoidable, avoid multiple stopovers and choose the most direct routes.

  • Bring along a reusable water bottle, bag, and cutlery to help reduce single-use waste during your visits.

  • We also encourage you to share your own eco-friendly tips with us – together, we can make a difference.
