In the era of the credibility revolution in psychology and the growing adoption of open science practices, an increasing number of articles now openly share the materials, raw data, and analysis scripts utilized in research. This paper introduces a graduate research program leveraging these open resources. Students validate the reproducibility of reported findings using the provided open data and scripts, followed by conducting sensitivity tests to assess the robustness of the findings under varying analysis specifications. I argue that this program meets scientific and educational standards expected of a graduate thesis despite bypassing data acquisition processes typically required in a psychology course in Japan. I delve into the rationale for designing this program, outline its current implementation, and discuss its pros, cons, and future considerations.
