ABSTRACT Communication scientists devote large amounts of resources to conducting studies to improve our understanding of the social world, in hopes that our efforts contribute to improving people’s life outcomes. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, the process by which our research is conducted is not always clear in journal articles or books reporting our research. This lack of process-insight (a) limits our ability to build on each other’s research, (b) limits our holistic understanding of communication processes, and (c) limits the ability of consumers of our research to put it into practice. The current article discusses recent methodological advances designed to address these issues – advances in open science practices. I provide a brief primer on the philosophy behind open science and its relevance for communication research, then provide recommendations for both novice and expert researchers to implement open science practices at multiple steps of the research pipeline.

开放传播科学：为什么入门和关于如何的一些建议

摘要传播科学家投入大量资源进行研究，以增进我们对社会世界的了解，希望我们的努力有助于改善人们的生活成果。不幸的是，由于各种原因，进行研究的过程在报告我们研究的期刊文章或书籍中并不总是很清楚。这种缺乏过程洞察力的现象（a）限制了我们在彼此研究基础上的能力，（b）限制了我们对沟通过程的整体理解，并且（c）限制了我们研究的消费者将其付诸实践的能力。本文讨论了旨在解决这些问题的最新方法论进展-开放式科学实践的进展。我简要介绍了开放科学背后的哲学及其与传播研究的相关性，
