Ok! Thanks for the advice!

Sure, ok. It’s just that the use of “never” made it seem, you know, a bit absolutist.

I’d like to point out that this advice is culture-specific. PhD students in Germany typically earn above median wage, and students have asked me to stop offering because it’s patronising.

Of course in an ideal world of appropriate credit assignment this wouldn’t be necessary, but I think it strikes a good balance. I don’t know any journals or labs who actually implement this though.

At time of first pub from a dataset, experimentalists deposit raw data into a third party repo, which unlocks at a negotiated time (eg 2 years later). That gives the experimental lab some time to get more papers out (exclusive use) but also ensures that the data isn’t locked away forever.

For the issue of experimentalists wanting the chance to publish more than one paper from an expensive dataset, I always liked the idea of a third-party data embargo.

This is called “stereo blindness” and it is quite common: about 7% of people under 60. Multiple distinct mechanisms can cause stereo blindness.

The prevalence and diagnosis of 'stereoblindness' in adults less than 60 years of age: a best evidence synthesis - PubMed
We identify four different approaches that all converge toward a prevalence of stereoblindness of 7% (median approach: 7%; unambiguous-stereoblindness-criteria approach: 7%; visual-defect-included approach: 7%; multiple-criteria approach: 7%). We note that these estimates were derived considering ad …
