Open science is a movement that aims to make scientific research—including methods, data, results and the editorial process—as accessible as possible. By encouraging practices such as transparent peer review, data sharing, and open access publishing, open science promotes a more open, accountable, and collaborative research culture. Furthermore, such practices allow a broader community of readers to understand the inner workings of the research space and contribute by building upon published ideas. You can read more about the open science framework https://www.cos.io/open-science. 

​

In an effort to operate under this philosophy, SGRJ will publish all articles on the SGRJ website where they can be accessed by anyone. Additionally, we will publish the editorial review process of your submission—including any drafts and feedback provided—unless you choose to opt out. To do so, please include in your submission email “I wish to opt out of sharing the editorial process of my submission.”​​
