Practical Benefits (and Some Annoyances) of Sharing Data
Daniel Lakens Human-Technology Interaction Group Eindhoven University of Technology
Archie
• Internal solution • Data stored 7 years • Researchers can
upload, but not modify, research data
• Limited meta-data (sample size, age youngest participant, description of files)
Archie is an Integrated (Internal)Solution
1 •Submit Proposal to Ethical Board
2 •Get OK, Perform Study
3 •Upload Data & Materials
I still haven’t uploaded the data, even though if I do, I get the participant payment money back (I advanced the money). It interesting that 300-500 euro’s is not enough to get the typical researcher to hurry up with paperwork, or uploading data.
External Solution
• I do always upload data to an external solution (the Open Science Framework) before I submit an article. That’s a much better motivation than money.
External Solution
Sharing Data is Useful
• I recently co-edited a special issue on replications. One author of the original replicated work argued online the replication study was flawed due to a ceiling effect.
• All the data from the replication was online (as part of the special issue). The original researcher also made her data available.
• 5 researchers performed ‘post-publication peer review’ using the raw data.
The Bright Future: Better Meta-Data
• Having access to data for re-analysis is great. But what we want is: – Online databases which store relevant data for as
the sample size, effect size, test statistics – This allows us to meta-analytically evaluate
research lines.
• A new initiative CurateScience.org is doing this
