This proposal advocates for mandatory data sharing in psychology journals, suggesting greater transparency in research.
Psychology journals should require, as a condition for publication, that data supporting the results in the paper are accessible in an appropriate public archive. I hope that in the near future, the ‘should’ in the previous sentence will disappear, and that data sharing has become a requirement. Many journals already have requirements to share data, but often not in a public database.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
