Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

Narrative review attributing this to Kidwell et al. (2016): the article reports that offering badges for "data sharing, materials sharing, or preregistration" coincided with uptake while overall data sharing rates were flat. No effect size is printed.

"Offering these visible indicators of data sharing, materials sharing, or preregistration is associated with an uptake of those behaviors over a period of time when overall rates of data sharing were not on the rise (Kidwell et al., 2016)."
