Paralleling very visible debates in psychology, some parts of the communication field have recently pushed for a wholesale endorsement of the principles of open science and its practices, including a particular focus on replicability and reproducibility as quality criteria. Unfortunately, these discussions have been plagued by a set of at least 3 interrelated problems: A lack of conceptual clarity when defining open science-related challenges to communication scholarship; the irony of using intuition rather than evidence when trying to improve communication science; and our field’s surprising lack of attention to nonreplicability in social media data as one of our field’s most rapidly growing data sources. In response to these problem areas, we argue that communication as a field proceed empirically as it applies open science practices to different subfields in communication and end our essay with pathways forward for a science of open (communication) science.

开放（传播）科学：对传播研究质量标准的循证理解

与心理学中非常明显的辩论并行，通信领域的某些部分最近推动了对开放科学原则及其实践的全面认可，包括特别关注可复制性和可再现性作为质量标准。不幸的是，这些讨论受到至少 3 个相互关联的问题的困扰： 在定义与通信学术相关的开放科学挑战时缺乏概念清晰性；在尝试改进传播科学时使用直觉而不是证据具有讽刺意味；作为我们领域增长最快的数据源之一，我们的领域出人意料地缺乏对社交媒体数据中不可复制性的关注。针对这些问题领域，
