Some scholars think that Open Science practices constrain researchers in ways
that reduce their creativity, arguing, for instance, that preregistration
discourages data exploration and so stifles discovery. In this article, we argue
the opposite: Open Science practices are liberating and can foster creativity.
Open Science practices are liberating because they (a) enable us to explore data
transparently and comfortably; (b) reward quality, which is under our control,
rather than outcomes, which are not; and (c) reduce the choke hold of needing to
find "positive" results for career advancement. Open Science practices can foster
creativity because they cultivate an open and flexible mind-set, create a more
collaborative and constructive climate, and generate more accurate information
and make it more accessible. In sum, Open Science liberates researchers more than
it constrains them.
