Data, materials and code associated with this research that can be shared without restriction are publicly available in a living OSF repository (https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/ed8pj). The living OSF repository represents improvements, fixes and additions that occur post-publication. Readers can also access a registered, archived version of this repository that is precisely the data, code and documentation as they existed on publication of this paper (https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/kmvst). The repository includes all available documentation for reproduction attempts, regardless of whether they were completed. This includes most of the data and code from the individual reproduction attempts, save for any data that are proprietary or protected that will not be made available, or for which analyst teams were uncertain or unable to confirm that they were allowed to share secondary data. It is possible that some data, materials or code that could be shared openly is not available at the time of publication. Readers are encouraged to contact the corresponding author or the authors of the relevant subproject (Supplementary Table 2) to see if more research content can be shared in the living repository. This paper is part of a collection of papers reporting on the SCORE program. Documentation, data and code for the entire program is available at the OSF (https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/dtzx4).
Investigating the reproducibility of the social and behavioural sciences
Why This Matters
This article highlights the importance of transparency and reproducibility in social and behavioral sciences by providing open access to data, code, and documentation through a living OSF repository. It underscores ongoing efforts to improve research reliability, which benefits both the scientific community and consumers by fostering trust and enabling validation of findings. The initiative exemplifies how open science practices can enhance the credibility and robustness of research in the tech industry and beyond.
Key Takeaways
- Open repositories facilitate transparency and reproducibility in social sciences.
- Living OSF repositories allow continuous updates, improvements, and corrections post-publication.
- Sharing data and code supports validation, fosters collaboration, and enhances research credibility.
