VALID+
Structured guidance for your thesis
Feeling overwhelmed — or just want a clearer plan? We got you!
VALID+ provides structured guidance while strengthening research validity and Open Science practices.
What is VALID+?
An interactive platform providing guidance for academic theses.
VALID+ is an interactive extension of the published VALID checklist, designed specifically for students and learners. It translates core principles of research validity and Open Science into structured, stage-based guidance with prompts and explanations that support you throughout your thesis process — whether it is your first project or your twentieth. The goal is not only to help you complete your thesis, but to strengthen the quality, transparency, and clarity of your research.
