While replication is neccesary in the biological sciences, outcome definition, protocol deviations, and the firewalls of academic piublication make research transparency in the microbiological sciences a challenge. This initiative will introduce tools and practices such as pre-analysis plans, transparent data collection platforms, and reproducible data workflows to scientists working in the microbiological sciences. Emphasizing two-way learning, the workshops will encourage participants to share local practices for research transparency and challenges they face for doing transparent science, fostering a collaborative space rather than a top-down instructional format. Outputs will include bilingual training materials, a proposed workflow for transparency in microbiological research, and a GitHub repository for public access. The initiative aims to support open science practices in Ecuador and inform future training programs globally.
