Journal of Health Psychology - New Trial Data Sharing Policy

New Trial Data Sharing Policy
From the 1st July 2018, Journal of Health Psychology will begin a one-year trial data sharing policy which will apply to studies using quantitative but not qualitative data and in mixed-methods studies will apply only to the quantitative parts of the study report.

Looks as though they are aiming for what PLOS should have been.

Wow, that really is open data:

An example of a Data Sharing Statement that would meet these requirements is as follows:

Will de-identified individual participant data be available (including data dictionaries)? Yes
What data in particular will be shared? All of the individual participant data collected during the study, after de-identification.
What other documents will be available? Study Protocol, Statistical Analysis Plan, Informed Consent Form, Clinical Study Report, Analytic Code.
When will data be available (start and end dates)? Immediately following publication. No end date.
With whom? Anyone who wishes to access the data.
For what types of analyses? Any purpose.
By what mechanism will data be made available? Data are available indefinitely at (Link to an appropriate be included).

The Data Sharing Statement should appear at the end of the Method section of the manuscript.

The new rules will be reviewed after one year to determine their feasibility over the longer term.

demand the data before publication, as a condition of publication.

i do not think any other policy will work at this time.

Fascinating that they require publication of all individual participant data collected during the study. This would stop practices like PACE where they trickled out bits of the results over several years, getting lots of papers from the same study, and being able to do lots of misleading media hype over years.

They would have to do all the protocol specified analysis and report it all in a single paper. If they don't they can be sure others will do it pretty soon.

Yes, I posted about this going back aways in another universe ...

Edit: I think all data should go into some sort of "trust house", where even the researchers cannot tamper with it.
