  Nowadays, protecting trust in social sciences also means engaging in open
community dialogue, which helps to safeguard robustness and improve efficiency
of research methods. The combination of open data, open review and open
dialogue may sound simple but implementation in the real world will not be
straightforward. However, in view of Begley and Ellis's (2012) statement that,
"the scientific process demands the highest standards of quality, ethics and
rigour," they are worth implementing. More importantly, they are feasible to
work on and likely will help to restore plausibility to social sciences
research. Therefore, I feel it likely that the triplet of open data, open
review and open dialogue will gradually emerge to become policy requirements
regardless of the research funding source.
