Abstract

Der Beitrag diskutiert Open Science in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften als Bündel von Praktiken zur Verbesserung von Transparenz, Reproduzierbarkeit und Zugänglichkeit wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Der Artikel zeigt, dass Präregistrierungen und Registered Reports, Open Data und Open Code sowie Open Access die Glaubwürdigkeit empirischer Forschung stärken können, zugleich aber disziplinspezifische Grenzen und Zielkonflikte berücksichtigen müssen. Für die Wirtschaftswissenschaften und die Forschungsförderung folgt daraus die Notwendigkeit verlässlicher Infrastrukturen, klarer Standards und nachhaltiger institutioneller Unterstützung, insbesondere für nicht-kommerzielle Open-Access-Modelle wie Diamond Open Access.
