I model economists as being themselves behavioral, and not fully rational in how they implement their research. I characterize research results as a network graph of data analyses at the level of human-computer interactions that contain graph copies whenever the economist manifests behavioral shortcomings. Ethical and transparent research emerges as a unique graph. I allow researchers to hold themselves accountable with commitment devices that eliminate behavioral copies of research graphs. In so doing, I introduce a solution to the problem of the so-called garden of forking paths. Applications are based in economic theory and qualitative research for program evaluation design. The field of human-computer interaction has an important role to play in fostering research transparency in economics.
