Open-Science Training in American Psychological Association–Accredited Clinical-Psychology Programs: A Registered Report

In the present study, completed as a Registered Report, we assessed the level of training on issues related to open science and the replication crisis in clinical-psychology PhD programs in the United States. Syllabi were surveyed and coded from research-methods courses in these programs for topics related to open science and the replication crisis. In addition, a survey of graduate students was conducted evaluating their exposure to and opinions of open science and the replication crisis. We found that overall, open-science and replication-crisis topics are not widely covered in these programs, although there is evidence of students’ interest in learning about these topics.
