#METHOD MAP TRANSPARENT REGISTRATION#
Our results indicate remarkable improvements in some (e.g., conflict of interest disclosures and funding disclosures), but not other (e.g., protocol registration and code sharing) areas of transparency over time, and map transparency across fields of science, countries, journals, and publishers. We present an open-source, automated approach to identify 5 indicators of transparency (data sharing, code sharing, conflicts of interest disclosures, funding disclosures, and protocol registration) and apply it across the entire open access biomedical literature of 2.75 million articles on PubMed Central (PMC). However, with tens of thousands of new biomedical articles published per week, manually mapping and monitoring changes in transparency is unrealistic. Recent concerns about the reproducibility of science have led to several calls for more open and transparent research practices and for the monitoring of potential improvements over time.
