Join us to talk with highly respected social science journal editors and scholarly knowledge builders and reflect on how journal editors can advance their fields. Conversations will be centred around open science and the future of scholarly publishing. Our free, online, interactive workshop includes two plenary talks and two opportunities to participate in smaller group discussions (two options to pick from three discussions, see below).

----------

Plenaries:

Simine Vazire on *How can journal editors shape incentives for researchers?*

Tony Ross-Hellauer on *Pros and cons of open peer review: what we know*

Breakout session 1, either:

1. *Computational reproducibility* – Outlining the pros and cons of pre- and post-verification of analyses to assess computational reproducibility, and presenting and evaluating tools that can be used for this. Including Abel Brodeur, Ana Trisovic, and Thu-Mai Christian.

2. *Diversity in journal editing* – Outlining threats to geographical, racial, and gender diversity in social science publishing (with regards to authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and editors) and proposing possible solutions. Including Johanna Vollhardt, Leah Bryant, and Nadia Brown.

3. *Incentivising reviews* – Outlining reviewers’ motivations to review, and different ways in which potential reviewers can be incentivised to conduct peer reviews. Including Estelle Cheng, Felix Girke, and Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner.

Breakout session 2, either:

1. *Choosing data repositories* – Outlining considerations and approaches journal editors can take when choosing how and whether to mandate how data associated with papers are shared. Including Kyrani Reneau, Lars Vilhuber, and Sara Hart, and moderated by Chase Harrison.

2. *How journals can work with preprints* – Outlining the benefits and challenges of preprints in the social sciences, how journals can support preprints, and disciplinary challenges. Including Elizabeth Chin, Ludo Waltman, and Moin Syed, and moderated by Colin Elman.

3. *Preregistration & registered reports* – Outlining recent policy and implementation innovations in preregistration and registered reports, and disciplinary challenges. Including Alan Jacobs, Katie Corker, and Loukia Tzavella.

This workshop is being run by the Data-PASS Journal Editors Discussion Interface (JEDI). JEDI provides the community of social science journal editors a forum in which to ask and answer questions, share information and expertise, and build a fund of collective knowledge. JEDI aims to facilitate discussion about evolving practices, and to help and encourage editors to develop a common language and set of norms and to generate solutions to problems new and old. JEDI was created and is managed by several members of the Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences (Data-PASS). With generous support from the National Science Foundation, JEDI officially launched a year ago, and we now have over 300 members from across the social sciences. Participating in the workshop requires attendees to join JEDI for free.
