For sure, I tend to follow a write-long first, cut-down later approach.

Great talk, @aanixel.bsky.social! I'm curious if there is a preprint available for your paper under review in Scientific Reports?

Ah, that's a pity! Another victim of the API-calypse.
Ok, so with DDPs we can then still get access to listening history but this cannot be augmented with other track characteristics.

Thanks! Yes, I was thinking it might be possible to do an ESM study and then get Ps to provide their listening history as a DDP at the end (some logistics to manage this of course). Then use the API to augment the track info.
Yes, I prescribed the MMT paper in my media entertainment class actually!

For me the data go back 8 years with 120k+ listens. The file is 7MB
@felix-dietrich.de, @aliciaernst.bsky.social if I recall correctly you used the Spotify API?
Do you have any experience with participants uploading data requested from Spotify (especially re. timing of the download)?

Out of interest, this was what the data look like for each track listened to.
With the Spotify API more info on the track can be pulled to augment the listening history data.

This preprint was just posted to PsyArXiv and, while it does more than reporting a dataset, it is essentially describing and reporting a dataset.

Yip, @candiceodgers.bsky.social says as much here too www.nature.com/articles/d41...
and @cjsewall9.bsky.social (and I) try to make this argument here psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

Unfortunately this wasn't for a specific paper on this topic.
But I saw it in the raw data when conducting the analysis for this paper. It comes through a bit in Table B3 and Figures 3/4.

IEEE, ACM, etc. play a much larger role in the communities than Elsevier etc.
I don't think there are analogs to @peercommunityin.bsky.social there, so maybe they too have something to learn from us?
What happened in tech pre arXiv? What are the challenges with the system there?

I'm curious if we in the social sciences can learn from the more technical sciences on this? While there are issues with the emphasis on conferences (mostly organised by professional orgs?), the dominance of arXiv (etc) means that the rent-seeking role of big publishers is (mostly) limited?

I haven’t checked as on mobile but presumably this would also break preprint downloads via google scholar?

oh, 💯 I'm the same. I hate starting a big task...coding/writing, etc... with a to-do list looming over me. But, as you say, it feels like so many things these days are <30 min short tasks that accumulate, crowding out time for these longer tasks.

Awesome! diarised already!
Crazy that it is five years already..
And @aliciagilbert.bsky.social and I are up for the March edition too..

Really interesting. I've seen the same with smartphone app tracking data. Many participants use apps associated with many different panels/survey companies/survey tools and seemingly spend a considerable proportion of their time answering surveys: panel_app --> browser -> panel_app -> browser, etc.
