Transparency gives greater credibility to results
Advantage of transparency: “Transparent decisions are also expected to...lead to more informed decision... as a “tool to permit evaluation”... transparency also promotes improved access to information as a way to build public confidence in the decision process and strengthen credibility” [Drew, C. H. & Nyerges, T. L. (2004). Transparency of environmental decision making: a case study of soil cleanup inside the Hanford 100 area. Journal of Risk Research, 7(1), 33-71]
