Abstract

Participating in autism research costs autistic people time and energy. Participants give that time in the hope of supporting researchers to generate new evidence and insights that could help autistic people to enjoy happier and healthier lives. A key element of translating research into this kind of meaningful impact is that findings are reliable and that the process for arriving at them is clear. Open research is a system for producing a reliable evidence base by facilitating greater transparency and robustness in research practices (Munafò et al., 2017). It draws on a wide toolkit of different methods and techniques that aim to open up the research process from start to finish. They include preregistering study protocols and hypotheses, making research methods and materials freely available, and publishing study data so it is accessible to others. (...)

Cited references are imported from external metadata sources when they are available. The list may be partial.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 2 Oct 2026 07:50.
