The Open Science community is a vibrant, friendly and collaborative group of people working together to improve psychological science. Many discussions take place in the open, and there is always a lot going on. How can we keep up with the latest developments?

Social media

Much of the day-to-day chatter can be found on social media:

• Twitter provides a never-ending firehose of discussions. The @OpenScience account often collects news and articles regarding Open Science across disciplines; the organizations below are also represented. If you follow some voices you find interesting, you'll likely soon get a feeling for ongoing discussions.
• Facebook also hosts some forums related to open science, though less so. An active group in the realm of methodology and statistics is PsychMAP.
• Blogs reflect individual opinions in a longer format. You might enjoy the 100% CI, or Simine Vazire?

Organizations

There are several organizations that have made it their mission to foster open science, especially in the field of psychology:

• The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS) is a grass-roots initiative to improve research practices on both an individual (through training and outreach) and institutional level. SIPS organize an annual meeting which focusses on collaboration in the service of open science.
• The Center for Open Science runs the Open Science Framework, and provides several related services around preprints, open conference materials, and similar efforts. The COS is represented through a worldwide network of ambassadors.
