As mentioned, the text discusses four areas to improve transparency and reanalysis. With data collection and recording, the authors encourage researchers to make use of a variety of technological tools such as audio or video recording. They suggest that these tools are used in daily life and that researchers should not take the tools used to collect or record data as a given. Instead, they should explain why such tools were used and others not given the contexts they are working in. They also suggest that making use of technology encourages more accurate data than recounting with paper and pen after the fact. Next, the authors point out that anonymization has become more difficult with the Internet and searching capabilities available to the public as well as other researchers. Rather than anonymization, the authors suggest disclosure to be a main practice because it is more honest with participants when soliciting participation and negotiating terms of consent. Data verification refers to checking discrepancies and suggest that researcher clarify their process of knowing in the study. Lastly, the authors suggest that rather than using sharing data as a norm that they should seriously consider giving more decision-making power to participants in the study over the data they contribute.
