Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: TOP 101: An Overview of the Transparency and Openness Promotion Guidelines. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
The Transparency and Openness Promotion Guidelines (TOP) is a policy framework that can provide specific recommendations for journals, research funders, universities, and researchers about practices that are designed to increase the verifiability of empirical research claims. TOP was updated in 2025 and contains three main parts: Research Practices, Verification Practices, and Verification Studies. This webinar will include an overview of these components and how TOP’s tiered and modular structure makes it applicable to a diverse community of researchers and policymakers.
This webinar is part of COS’s ongoing campaign to demonstrate implementations of our Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines (https://bit.ly/top-guidelines), grounding our policy framework in real-world examples. If you have feedback, implementation stories, or lessons learned from working with TOP, get in touch with us at top@cos.io.
