Abstract
We develop VALID+, an educational tool for learning and teaching research validity. Focus groups and usability testing identify common challenges learners face in conducting valid research. These insights guide the creation of an interactive, empirically grounded resource aimed at improving research training and fostering high-quality, transparent scientific practice.
