Abstract
<p>While many disciplines have responded to the replication crisis with calls and measures to promote Open Science/Scholarship (OS) practices, corpus linguistics (CL) has been slower to espouse these ideas. This study examines the uptake of OS practices in 907 research articles published 2020-2025 in ten international CL journals. The number of preregistered studies, replications, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses was tracked. Full-text queries were performed to estimate the number of articles with open materials, data, and code. Their (re)usability based on FAIR principles was qualitatively assessed in a stratified sample of 141 articles. Between 2020–2025, around half of studies in international CL journals were published in open access. Very few authors made use of self-archiving options. Crucial components of research, e.g. raw and annotated corpus data, annotation schemes, and analytical scripts, are rarely available. The results suggest that CL currently stands closer to the starting line than the frontier of the OS movement. The findings establish baseline prevalence estimates against which progress towards more open CL research can be measured in the future.</p>
