Transparency in Research and Publication (TRAP)

Transparency in Research and Publication (TRAP) refers to openly sharing all aspects of the research process, including methodology, data, analysis, and results. It ensures that research findings are trustworthy, reproducible, and free from bias or undue influence. By being transparent, researchers allow others to verify their work, identify errors, and build on it confidently. TRAP promotes integrity in science, fostering public trust and advancing knowledge through clear, honest communication of how studies are conducted and conclusions are reached.
