In a new preprint led by @abitter.bsky.social we tested whether open data is useful for reproducibility and usage based on automated and human assessment of data FAIRness. The short answer is: in the majority of cases not really. For more information 👇
How FAIR is shared data in psychology?
We analyzed 11,384 datasets (2013–2024): They're findable, but less reusable!
What relates most to differences in FAIRness? #Repository choice.

Great work by @abitter.bsky.social @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social @kaisassenberg.bsky.social @t-1m.bsky.social et al. on FAIR data sharing in Psychology.
They also suggest 6 simple checks that can be implemented in the editorial process to improve data FAIRness.
