Sharing of Materials, Data, and Code

Sharing of research materials, research data, and analytical code, is a fundamental prerequisite to ensure that any research finding can be independently reproduced and verified, possibly with additional robustness tests, to enable independent replications with new samples, facilitate methodological research and meta-analyses, allow exploration and alternative analyses (and different interpretations) leading to new insights. It accelerates the interchange of ideas, fosters collaboration, assists with education and training, and increases the sustainability of research funding.
