Author guidelines for journals could help to promote transparency, openness, and reproducibility
Twenty-nine teams involving 61 analysts used the same data set to address research question: whether soccer referees are more likely give red cards dark-skin-toned players than light-skin-toned players. Analytic approaches varied widely across teams, and estimated effect sizes ranged from 0.89 2.93 ( Mdn = 1.31) in odds-ratio units. Twenty (69%) found a statistically significant positive effect, 9 (31%) did not observe relationship. Overall, 29 different analyses 21 unique combinations of...

Enteric infections are common during the first years of life in low-income countries and contribute to growth faltering with long-term impairment health development. Water quality, sanitation, handwashing nutritional interventions can independently reduce enteric faltering. There is little evidence that directly compares effects these individual combined on diarrhoea when delivered infants young children. The objective WASH Benefits study help fill this knowledge gap.WASH includes two...
Has there been meaningful movement toward open science practices within the social sciences in recent years? Discussions about changes such as posting data and pre-registering analyses have marked by controversy—including controversy over extent to which change has taken place. This study, based on State of Social Science (3S) Survey, provides first comprehensive assessment awareness of, attitudes towards, perceived norms regarding, adoption a broadly representative sample scholars from four...
This study estimates the effect of data sharing on citations academic articles, using journal policies as a natural experiment. We begin by examining 17 high-impact journals that have adopted requirement from published articles be publicly posted. match these to 13 without policy changes and find empirical just before their change in editorial citation rates with no statistically significant difference those shortly after shift. then ask whether this null result stems poor compliance...
Open science practices such as posting data or code and pre-registering analyses are increasingly prescribed debated in the applied sciences, but actual popularity lifetime usage of these remain unknown. This study provides an assessment attitudes toward, use of, perceived norms regarding open from a sample authors published top-10 (most-cited) journals PhD students top-20 ranked North American departments four major social disciplines: economics, political science, psychology, sociology. We...

The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Committee met in November 2014 to address one important element of the incentive systems - journals’ procedures policies for publication. outcome effort is TOP Guidelines. There are eight standards guidelines; each move scientific communication toward greater openness. These modular, facilitating adoption whole or part. However, they also complement other, that commitment standard may facilitate others. Moreover, guidelines sensitive barriers...
Publication bias leads consumers of research to observe a selected sample statistical estimates calculated by producers research. We calculate critical values for significance that could help adjust after the fact distortions created this selection effect, assuming only source publication is file drawer bias. These adjusted are easy and differ from unadjusted approximately 50%-rather than rejecting null hypothesis when t-ratio exceeds 2, analysis suggests 3. Samples published social science...

In preparation for a larger trial, the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Benefits pilot study enrolled 72 villages 499 subjects in two closely related randomized trials of WASH interventions rural western Kenya. Intervention households received hardware promotion one following: water treatment, sanitation latrine improvements, handwashing with soap, or combination all three. Interventions were clustered by village. A follow-up survey was conducted 4 months after intervention delivery to...
This study provides a first assessment of awareness of, attitudes toward, perceived norms regarding, and adoption open science practices within broadly representative sample active economics researchers. We observe steep increase in over the last decade, with an accelerating trend: as 2017, 93 percent economists had used at least one such practice--including posting data, sharing materials, pre-registration--rising from 33 decade earlier. document extensive variation across subfields....
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) is one of the most important elements social safety net.Unlike other net programs, SNAP varies little across states and over time, which creates challenges for quasi-experimental evaluation.Notably, benefits are fixed 48 states; but local prices vary, leading to geographic variation in real value -or purchasing power -of benefits.In this study, we provide first estimates that leverage markets examine effects on child...
