René Bekkers received an Open Science Amsterdam Award for the project Transparency in Nonprofit and Philanthropy Research. The Open Science Amsterdam community encourages awareness of open science principles and adherence to them at UMC Amsterdam, VU, UvA, and HvA. The awarded project aims to improve the quality of data and methods in empirical research on philanthropy and nonprofits, starting from the diagnosis that current research on philanthropy and nonprofit organizations is not transparent. The project uses computational social science tools to quantify trends in data and methods transparency, and will develop indicators of research quality. The project is an open collaboration; anyone can join. More information can be found here.
