🎉 After 2 years of work, our #OpenScience guide for researchers in developing countries is LIVE! Check out our new preprint: osf.io/preprints/psya… We map the opportunities 🌟 + barriers 🧱 facing Global South researchers. *(1/4)*

🔍 Key insight? Barriers are real (resources, access, incentives) – but actionable solutions exist! We propose a gradual engagement ladder 📈: Start small → build/lead communities. 💡 Remember: You can engage in community at any time! *(2/4)

💡Every open practice (data, code, prereg) is a spectrum! 🛠️ Begin with LOW-EFFORT practices. No "all or nothing"! Small steps build confidence, experience, & community 🤝. 🍔Detailed resources, guides, & tips are in the supplementary: osf.io/gu7v4 *(3/4)*
