Ever wonder how #openscience policies are made?

@cos.io kicked off a campaign to illustrate how our TOP guidelines translate into action. This month, we walk through how we crafted funder policies for our Funding Consciousness Research with Registered Reports initiative.

If you take a close read, you'll see that COS models the adaptability of the framework. They don't adopt the most stringent standards for every research practice, and that is OK! Good even!

It's also a nice model of using TOP to assess one's current position and see where you want to go next.

Funders - ever wondered what it might look like to implement the TOP guidelines? Here, COS shows how they've done so with the updated (2025) guidelines in their own work as a pass-through funder.

Take aways? TOP is a modular, customizable framework that can be tweaked for a variety of settings.
