I’ve put all the experiment data and code from my MPhil research online, and it took me several weekends to collate it, write some supplementary documentation and package everything up. Faced with tight deadlines (such as the final submission date for a thesis!), I doubt most researchers would be able to justify spending time preparing and sharing their data.

I’m curious if any of the authors mentioned micro-attribution as an important step to addressing the second summary point of lack of incentives and fear of being scooped. I’ll have a scan of the articles this weekend.
