The adoption of open science practices (OSPs) is crucial for promoting transparency and robustness in research. We conducted a systematic review to assess the frequency and trends of OSPs in psychometric studies focusing on measures of suicidal thoughts and behavior. We analyzed publications from two international databases, examining the use of OSPs such as open access publication, preregistration, provision of open materials, and data sharing. Our findings indicate a lack of adherence to OSPs in psychometric studies of suicide. The majority of manuscripts were published under restricted access, and preregistrations were not utilized. The provision of open materials and data was rare, with limited access to instruments and analysis scripts. Open access versions (preprints/postprints) were scarce. The low adoption of OSPs in psychometric studies of suicide calls for urgent action. Embracing a culture of open science will enhance transparency, reproducibility, and the impact of research in suicide prevention efforts.
采用开放科学实践（OSPs）对于提高研究的透明度和稳健性至关重要。我们进行了一项系统评价，以评估关注自杀想法和行为测量的心理计量学研究中 OSP 的频率和趋势。我们分析了来自两个国际数据库的出版物，研究了开放获取出版、预先注册、提供开放材料和数据共享等 OSP 的使用情况。我们的研究结果表明，自杀心理计量学研究中缺乏对 OSP 的遵守。大多数手稿是在受限访问下发表的，没有使用预先注册。开放材料和数据的提供很少，仪器和分析脚本的访问也有限。开放获取版本（预印本/后印本）很少。自杀心理计量学研究中 OSP 的低采用率需要紧急行动。采用开放科学文化将提高透明度、可重复性，并增强预防自杀工作的研究影响力。
