Lindström and colleagues describe different models of OA publishing and provide concrete guidelines for making one's publications open without violating copyright, with a particular focus on self-archiving, which involves no cost to authors.

We are especially pleased that the journal’s first empirical publication earned all three open-science badges! The study is pre-registered and materials and data are shared openly. Like all RiSE publications, this article is openly accessible at no cost to authors.

Lindsey Mirielli and colleagues analyze higher education position announcements in special education using their paired open database (POD), which they (a) made open as they developed it to inform job seekers and (b) now make open for research purposes.

We encourage authors to apply these recommendations and share data whenever ethically possible. Articles that share data in RiSE get recognized with an electronic badge.

In this lead paper of our inaugural special series on open practices, @cmwhite.bsky.social , Estrera, Hart, & Schatsneider provide expert guidance and a ton of great resources for researchers interested in data sharing, which facilitates transparency and democratization of research.

We accept submissions of all types of research in special education and related fields as well as commentaries and practical guides related to that research. In particular, we encourage the submission of registered reports, rigorous studies with null or negative findings, and replication research.

Unlike traditional journals where most articles are behind paywalls and authors have to pay (typically thousands of dollars) to make an article freely accessible, all the rigorous scholarship published in RiSE is openly accessible to all at no cost to authors.
