Matsick 1,2 , Mary Kruk 1,2 , Flora Oswald 1,2 , and Lindsay Palmer 1,2 Abstract Feminist researchers have long embraced the challenging, dismantling, and reimagining of psychology, though their contributions to transforming psychological science remain largely overlooked in the mainstream open science movement. In this article, we reconcile feminist psychology and open science. We propose that feminist theory can be leveraged to address central questions of the open science movement, and the potential for methodological synergy is promising. We signal the availability of feminist scholarship that can augment aspects of open science discourse. We also review the most compelling strategies for open science that can be harnessed by academic feminist psychologists. Drawing upon best practices in feminist psychology and open science, we address the following: generalizability (what are the contextual boundaries of results?), representation (who is included in research?), reflexivity (how can researchers reflect on who they are?), collaboration (are collaborative goals met within feminist psychology?), and dissemination (how should we give science away?). Throughout each section, we recommend using feminist tools when engaging with open science, and we recommend some open science practices for conducting research with feminist goals. Keywords generalizability, representation, reflexivity, collaboration, dissemination In this article, we consider opportunities for feminist psy- chologists in the current era of science reform; namely, we explain how feminist psychologists can both guide and expand upon open science efforts by drawing on the fundamentals of feminist science. We propose that feminist scholars already engage with some central tenets of open science and can thus employ the language and practice afforded by a feminist philosophy of science to inform a more critical, inclusive, and open psychology. Feminist researchers have long embraced the challenging, dismantling, and reimagining of psychology (e.g., historical moments of “feminism and/is/as psychology”; Rutherford & Pettit, 2015, p. 226), though their contributions to transforming psychological science and challenging the status quo remain largely overlooked in the mainstream open science movement. We aim to elucidate feminist psychology’ s record while proposing that some values of open science mirror decades worth of theoretical and methodological rec- ommendations by feminist scholars. Centering feminist and marginalized voices in the context of open science not only provides credit where credit is due but also addresses gendered power dynamics observed in conversations about science reform (GenderAction, 2019; Gruber et al., 2021; Ledgerwood et al., 2015). The purpose of this article is twofold: (a) to acknowledge feminist labor that speaks to many of the central questions of the open science movement and (b) to spark momentum for using feminist tools when doing open science and for using some open science tools when working within feminist psychology. “Open science” discourse involves rethinking scientific practice in pursuit of various goals, such as enhancing re- producibility and replicability, limiting questionable practices in the scientific process, and restructuring the creation of and access to scientific knowledge (Nosek et al., 2012, 2015; Shrout & Rodgers, 2018).
