Encouraging Authors to Share Their Data with Reviewers for ‘Psychological Science’
The journal Psychological Science is taking steps to encourage would-be authors to give reviewers easy access to the data underlying the analyses reported in their manuscripts. This is part of a wider effort to promote transparency and replicability in works published in the journal. I discussed the rationale for encouraging authors to share data and materials in a recent editorial, “Sharing Data and Materials in Psychological Science.” Here I briefly highlight some of the principle points.
At the recent International Convention of Psychological Science, University of California, Davis psychologist Simine Vazire quoted the motto of the Royal Society, perhaps the oldest learned society for science: Nullius in verba, “On no one’s word.” That is to say, “No offense, mate, but show me the data.”
