Investigating the reproducibility of the social and behavioural sciences

Published claims should be reproducible, yielding the same result when applying the same analysis to the same data. We assessed reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social …

Investigating the replicability of the social and behavioral sciences

We attempted replications of 274 claims of positive results from 164 quantitative papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 54 journals in the social and behavioral sciences. Replications were high-powered on average to detect the original effect size …

Citizen consensus and diverging views on benefit-sharing for genetic resources

The governance of genetic resources and their digital sequence information (DSI) faces challenges in achieving globally equitable benefit-sharing under the Convention on Biological Diversity. Citizens in nine countries across the Global North and …

Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in a crisis: The COVID-19 Preprint Replication Project

Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment …

Public Goods and Bads with Vulnerable Individuals: How Information and Social Nudges Change Behavior

In a diverse society, heterogeneous returns to public goods (PG) and bads (PB) are more often the rule rather than the exception, and often the returns from the public pool are such that individuals who are most affected no longer have incentives to …

Comparing access to US marine and terrestrial protected areas

The United States, like most other nations, has committed to protecting 30% of its land and oceans by 2030—known as 30-by-30—concurrent with societal goals such as reversing ‘inequitable access to the outdoors’. Although protected areas (PAs) in the …

Governing Climate Geoengineering: Side-Payments Are Not Enough

Climate geoengineering strategies can help reduce the economic and ecological impacts of global warming. However, governing geoengineering is challenging. Since climate preferences vary across countries, excessive deployment relative to the socially …

Data on transnational ecological compensation under a ‘no net loss’ biodiversity policy

We conducted surveys in Denmark, Spain, and Ghana to solicit individual preferences for national and international ecological compensation for forest cover lost in the participant's home country due to the construction of a road. In the same survey, …

Data on Donation Behavior Towards the Conservation of Migratory Species

The data contains 716 individual decisions and responses from a lab-in-field experiment and an exit questionnaire that were conducted in Denmark, Spain, and Ghana. Individuals were initially asked to perform a small effort task (i.e., correctly …

Data on How Abundance of Resource Inflows and Punishment Types Affect Resource Extraction Behavior

The data is collected through laboratory experiments on a dynamic common pool resource game, where, in an infinitely repeated number of rounds (i.e., game ended randomly), individuals made decisions about whether to exert a high or a low effort level …
