Toward a more open and diverse science in Neuropsychology
1Department of Psychology, University of Calgary.
Abstract:
Two major forces have begun to have a significant impact on psychological science and its scientists. One is the call for transparency and openness, and the other is the call for equity, diversity, and inclusiveness. These two movements are not unrelated, because science cannot be truly open and transparent unless it is also diverse and inclusive. In this Editorial, the author shares recent and upcoming initiatives to foster a more open and diverse science specifically in Neuropsychology.
