Promoting Open Science Practices: What Can (Should) Graduate Programs Do?

The training that applied linguists receive in graduate school can have a long-lasting impact on their career and research practices. Collectively, the field must therefore consider how to best educate upcoming generations of researchers to see Open Science practices as the standard rather than as the exception. In this chapter, we describe what we are eager to see in graduate programs that not only advocate for Open Science, but also proactively equip students with knowledge and skill sets to embrace the future research environment. We propose a more systematic integration of Open Science into the training of research methods, both within individual courses and across the program at large. We conclude by pointing readers to a short survey quiz for graduate students and program directors to self-assess their readiness to welcome an Open Science future in applied linguistics.
