Opening the door to science and inviting the world
DO YOU WANT TO GET INVOLVED?
Students for Open Science in Psychology was founded by students and continues to be run by students. We also partner with interested faculty members to help generate ideas for articles, provide mentorship to volunteers, and build networks. If you want to get involved, choose the position that is the best fit for you:
I AM A STUDENT
For students who want to push the boundaries of research
Students who volunteer with Students for Open Science are passionate, motivated, and organized. They envision a world where scientific research does more than inform other researchers: it informs the world.
​
Students work alone or with a team to transform peer-reviewed, published articles into brief, informative reports, infographics, and even short videos. The purpose of these creations is to translate academic findings into accessible, jargon-free, and widely shareable resources for anyone.
​
Students must be connected to a research lab, and be supervised by a faculty member that encourages their participation in Students for Open Science.
​
Interested in getting involved? Follow these three steps:
1. Speak to your current supervisor or advisor about getting involved, and ask them to choose one or two recently published articles that they would like to see turned into Students for Open Science posts.
2. Contact us and tell us who you are working with, what your research interests are, and why you think open science is important.
3. Commit to creating one blog post per semester.
