Special Interest Group (SIG) Open Science
The initiative to establish an Open Science SIG was taken at the asp-convention in Stuttgart in 2022. The SIG is to be understood as an open interest group that deals with the topic of Open Science and promotes the integration of Open Science practices into research practice. It serves the scientific exchange and active participation of members of the sport psychology community. SIG activities can include, for example, the development of specific recommendations for action, the organisation of workshops or advisory activities.
Interested asp members can contact the elected Vice President "Research and International Affairs" at any time via email (2023-2025: Prof Dr Chris Englert, englert@sport.uni-frankfurt.de).
Aims of the SIG
