Preregistrations without Code do not Prevent P-Hacking: You can increase your chances for a significant finding in the absence of real effects even with correlations and t test despite having preregistered your hypothesis (e.g., simply changing arguments in the functions).

There is no reason why systematic reviews can't be open. The data used for synthesis is *already* open and there are many excellent open source tools that can facilitate the easy sharing of analysis scripts.

We’ve wrestled a lot in the past decade with poor publishing incentives - but I see a similar unreckoned-with threat from funding incentives. When universities prioritize grants/funding in tenure & hiring decisions, the folks holding the purse strings control WHAT we study. That cannot be good.

The replication crisis has shown that social psych is largely built upon sand rather than solid ground. While practices have improved dramatically we’re still trying to figure out which “older” theories hold and which do not. And I personally struggle to track what has replicated vs. not.

I think this is an overly pessimistic take from the @bmj.com.
Sharing data does not inherently increase trust, rather it enables verification which allows for trust calibration.
This example is a win. Serious issues were rapidly detected that would not have been without mandatory data sharing.
