We take open, transparent, and reproducible science seriously. All manuscripts undergo screening for adherence to the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines. The TOP Guidelines comprise modular standards implemented at different levels of rigor. The table below shows how these standards are adopted by the journal.
| TOP 2025 Research Practice | Implementation in Cadernos de Linguística | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Study Registration | Authors state whether a study was registered (where/when) and provide an identifier/URL; when applicable, compare registration and final report. | ✓ | ||
| Study Protocol | Authors state whether a study protocol is available (where/when); if public, cite it and describe scope and timing of sharing. | ✓ | ||
| Analysis Plan | Authors state whether an analysis plan is available; report deviations and separate them from exploratory analyses. | ✓ | ||
| Materials Transparency | Share and cite materials in a trusted repository with a DOI; when restricted, document access routes. | ✓ | ||
| Data Transparency | Share and cite data in a trusted repository with a DOI and metadata; for sensitive data, specify controlled access conditions. | ✓ | ||
| Analytic Code Transparency | Share and cite analytic code in a trusted repository with sufficient documentation; report software versions and dependencies. | ✓ | ||
| Reporting Transparency | Indicate the reporting guideline used; when applicable, share and cite a completed checklist; distinguish confirmatory and exploratory analyses. | ✓ |
