Abstract
By becoming increasingly empirical and quantitative, linguistics have been facing challenges and limitations that pose barriers to research reproducibility and replicability. One of the proposed solutions to the reproducibility and replicability crisis have been transparency practices, e.g. open access publishing, preregistrations, sharing study materials, data, and analyses, performing study replications and declaring conflicts of interest. With a team of researchers from different sub-disciplines of linguistics we have assessed the prevalence of these practices in randomly sampled 600 journal articles from linguistics across two time points. In the talk, we will present the main results from the assessment together with recommendations and solutions for facilitating adoption of transparency practices in the field.
