从2014年1月开始,《心理科学》让作者有机会发出公开数据和材料的信号,如果他们有资格获得与发表文章一起的徽章。在佩戴徽章之前,只有不到3%的心理科学文章报告了开放数据。在徽章之后,23%的人报告了开放数据,并有加速的趋势;39%的人报告了2015年上半年的开放数据,比基线增加了一个数量级以上。比较期刊之间的低数据共享率并没有随着时间的推移而改变。此外,报道的公开性并不能保证公开性。当获得徽章时,据说可用的数据比没有获得徽章时更有可能是实际可用的、正确的、可用的和完整的。开放资料也增加到较弱的程度,比较期刊之间存在较大的变异性。徽章是一种简单、有效的信号,可促进开放做法,并通过使用独立的储存库改进数据和材料的保存。
Beginning January 2014, Psychological Science gave authors the opportunity to signal open data and materials if they qualified for badges that accompanied published articles. Before badges, less than 3% of Psychological Science articles reported open data. After badges, 23% reported open data, with an accelerating trend; 39% reported open data in the first half of 2015, an increase of more than an order of magnitude from baseline. There was no change over time in the low rates of data sharing among comparison journals. Moreover, reporting openness does not guarantee openness. When badges were earned, reportedly available data were more likely to be actually available, correct, usable, and complete than when badges were not earned. Open materials also increased to a weaker degree, and there was more variability among comparison journals. Badges are simple, effective signals to promote open practices and improve preservation of data and materials by using independent repositories.
