Programs

Open Review & Registered Reports

Authors can opt into publishing reviewer reports and responses. We also support registered reports to reduce publication bias and p-hacking.

Reproducibility & FAIR

Templates and checklists ensure code, data, and model cards are shared under FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable.
