DISSC aims to increase access to Yale research by supporting data and code sharing, preregistration, and open software. These practices promote transparency, reproducibility, and accountability in research.
DISSC can help!
- Make your research more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).
- Prepare a replication file for your journal article.
- Verify that others can independently recreate the research from the same data and the same code.
