We just published the preprint of our new study “Journal Data Sharing Policies and Statistical Reporting Inconsistencies in Psychology” at https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/sgbta.
In this paper, we ran three independent studies to investigate if data sharing is related to fewer statistical inconsistencies in a paper. Overall, we found no relationship between data sharing and reporting inconsistencies. However, we did find that journal policies on data sharing are extremely effective in promoting data sharing (see the Figure below).
We argue that open data is essential in improving the quality of psychological science, and we discuss ways to detect and reduce reporting inconsistencies in the literature.
I am honored to announce that Joshua R. Polanin and I were awarded a $20,000 methods grant from the Campbell Collaboration for the project “Verifying the Accuracy of Statistical Significance Testing in Campbell Collaboration Systematic Reviews Through the Use of the R Package statcheck”.
The grant is part of the Campbell Collaboration’s program to supporting innovative methods development in order to improve the quality of systematic reviews. It is great that we (and statcheck!) can be a part of this effort.
For more information about the grant and the three other recipients, see their website here.
The long-read in the Guardian today by Stephen Buranyi featured our work at the Meta-Research Center. Specifically, it focuses on the work of Chris Hartgerink and Marcel van Assen on detecting fabricated data, and how the development and use of statcheck played a role in their research.
