Open-science reforms, which aim to increase credibility and access of research, have the potential to benefit the research base in special education, as well as practice and policy informed by that research base. Awareness of open science is increasing among special education researchers. However, relatively few researchers in the field have experience using multiple open-science practices, and few practical guidelines or resources have been tailored to special education researchers to support their exploration and adoption of open science. In this article, we described and provided guidelines and resources for applying five core open-science practices—preregistration, registered reports, data sharing, materials sharing, and open-access publishing—in special education research.

开放科学改革旨在提高研究的可信度和可及性，有可能使特殊教育的研究基地以及由该研究基地提供的实践和政策受益。特殊教育研究人员的开放科学意识正在增强。然而，该领域的研究人员相对较少有使用多种开放科学实践的经验，并且很少有为特殊教育研究人员量身定制的实用指南或资源来支持他们探索和采用开放科学。在本文中，我们描述并提供了在特殊教育研究中应用五种核心开放科学实践（预注册、注册报告、数据共享、材料共享和开放获取出版）的指南和资源。
