Suicide research is vitally important, yet—like psychology research more broadly—faces methodological challenges. In recent years, researchers have raised concerns about standard practices in psychological research, concerns that apply to suicide research and raise questions about its robustness and validity. In the present paper, we review these concerns and the corresponding solutions put forth by the “open science” community. These include using open science platforms, pre‐registering studies, ensuring reproducible analyses, using high‐powered studies, ensuring open access to research materials and products, and conducting replication studies. We build upon existing guides, address specific obstacles faced by suicide researchers, and offer a clear set of recommended practices for suicide researchers. In particular, we consider challenges that suicide researchers may face in seeking to adopt “open science” practices (e.g., prioritizing large samples) and suggest possible strategies that the field may use in order to ensure robust and transparent research, despite these challenges.

通过公开透明的研究实践优化自杀科学研究

自杀研究至关重要，但是像心理学研究一样，它也面临方法论上的挑战。近年来，研究人员提出了对心理学研究中的标准做法的关注，对自杀研究的关注，并提出了有关其鲁棒性和有效性的问题。在本文中，我们回顾了这些关注点以及“开放科学”社区提出的相应解决方案。这些措施包括使用开放式科学平台，预先注册研究，确保可重复的分析，使用高性能研究，确保开放获取研究材料和产品以及进行复制研究。我们以现有指南为基础，解决自杀研究人员面临的具体障碍，并为自杀研究人员提供明确的建议做法。特别是，
