However, with the increasing complexities of new technologies and techniques, coupled with the specialisation of experiments, reproducing research findings has become a growing challenge. Clearly, scientific methods must be conveyed succinctly, and with clarity and rigour, in order for research to be reproducible. Here, we propose steps to help increase the transparency of the scientific method and the reproducibility of research results: specifically, we introduce a peer-review oath and accompanying manifesto. These have been designed to offer guidelines to enable reviewers (with the minimum friction or bias) to follow and apply open-science principles, and support the ideas of transparency, reproducibility and ultimately greater societal impact. Introducing the oath and manifesto at the stage of peer review will help to check that the research being published includes everything that other researchers would need to successfully repeat the work. Peer review is the lynchpin of the publishing system: encouraging the community to consciously (and conscientiously) uphold these principles prior to publication should help to improve published papers, increase confidence in the reproducibility of the work and, ultimately, provide strategic benefits to authors and their institutions. Future incarnations of the various national Research Excellence Frameworks (REFs) will evolve away from simple citations towards measurable societal value and impact. The proposed manifesto aspires to facilitate this goal by making transparency, reproducibility and citizen-scientist engagement with the knowledge-creation and dissemination processes, the default parameters for performing sound research. 001028405 588__ $$aDataset connected to DataCite 001028405 650_7 $$2Other$$aopen science 001028405 650_7 $$2Other$$apeer review 001028405 650_7 $$2Other$$areviewer 001028405 650_7 $$2Other$$aoath 001028405 7001_ $$aAlexa, Adrian$$b1 001028405 7001_ $$aAttwood, Teresa K$$b2 001028405 7001_ $$aBolser, Dan$$b3 001028405 7001_ $$aDahlö, Martin$$b4 001028405 7001_ $$aDavey, Robert$$b5 001028405 7001_ $$aDinkel, Holger$$b6 001028405 7001_ $$aFörstner, Konrad$$b7 001028405 7001_ $$aGrigorov, Ivo$$b8 001028405 7001_ $$aHèriché, Jean-Karim$$b9 001028405 7001_ $$aChue Hong, Neil$$b10 001028405 7001_ $$aLahti, Leo$$b11 001028405 7001_ $$aMacLean, Dan$$b12 001028405 7001_ $$aMarkie, Michael L$$b13 001028405 7001_ $$aMolloy, Jenny$$b14 001028405 7001_ $$aSchneider, Maria Victoria$$b15 001028405 7001_ $$aScott, Camille$$b16 001028405 7001_ $$aSmith-Unna, Richard$$b17 001028405 7001_ $$aVieira, Bruno Miguel$$b18 001028405 773__ $$a10.5281/ZENODO.12273 001028405 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1028405/files/OathGoldStandard.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001028405 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1028405/files/OathGoldStandard.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 001028405 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1028405/files/OathGoldStandard.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 001028405 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1028405/files/OathGoldStandard.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 001028405 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1028405/files/OathGoldStandard.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 001028405 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1028405$$qdnbdelivery 001028405 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)10000$$2StatID$$aHosted Content 001028405 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001028405 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYSA4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike CC BY-SA 4.0 001028405 920__ $$lno 001028405 9801_ $$aOPENSCIENCE 001028405 980__ $$apreprint 001028405 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ZB-20090406
