Abstract

We thank our esteemed colleagues who provided insightful commentaries on our feature article “(Why) are open research practices the future for the study of Language Learning?” (Marsden & Morgan-Short). Their responses very usefully illustrated and amplified points in our review, provided nuance and extension to some of our ideas, and pushed us to make stronger statements and deeper considerations of some of the facets and consequences of open research practices.
Three common and prominent themes seemed to emerge from the responses, which we identify as: Community; Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; and Changing Culture, and we organize our own response around these themes. We note that some of the issues raised by our generous commentators were addressed in arguments that had originally been included in our submitted manuscript (Marsden & Morgan-Short) but, due to length considerations, had to be moved to its Appendix. That Appendix can be found in the online Supporting Information for the Marsden & Morgan-Short article and is also held on the Open Science Framework (OSF) at https://osf.io/ru5n4. We refer to some of those arguments in our response here.
