Abstract
Background
Open Science, characterised by transparency, openness, and collaboration in research, offers promising avenues to enhance the credibility and trustworthiness of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). By embracing Open Science principles, such as open access to data, methods, and results, CPG developers can foster greater accountability, reproducibility, and stakeholder involvement during the development processes.
Objectives
To assess the application of Open Science approaches to enhance transparency in the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines, with a focus on those established by the Spanish Society of Oncology (SEOM).
Expected results
This study aims to provide insights into leveraging Open Science approaches to enhance transparency in CPG. Expected results include:
1- Assessment of transparency in SEOM's guideline development.
2- Recommendations for integrating Open Science practices like open data sharing into SEOM's workflow.
3- Understanding the potential advantages, such as heightened credibility and increased stakeholder involvement, albeit the precise mechanisms to achieve these outcomes may require further elucidation.
4- Identification of challenges and strategies for implementing Open Science in CPG development within SEOM.
