Commitment to open science principles (e.g., preregistration, posting data and code).

Doing research that is innovative and ambitious.

Balancing the rigorous, critical evaluation of research with openness and appreciation. Greeting others’ research - including research from other fields - with respect and an attitude of “what can I learn from this?”
