Examples of open research practices

Open Methods: MethodsX is an open-access journal where methods used in research studies can be regularly updated by authors and viewed by readers in order to gain precise insight into the methods used and how they could be replicated. An example of its usage is Jillian Student and colleagues’ recent paper which explored the factors affecting coastal tourism using an agent-based modelling approach featuring human-environmental interactions. Specifics of the model can be accessed and viewed on MethodsX.
