Abstract: Serious concerns about research quality have catalysed a number of reform initiatives intended to improve transparency and reproducibility and thus facilitate self-correction, increase efficiency and enhance research credibility. Meta-research has evaluated the merits of some individual initiatives; however, this may not capture broader trends reflecting the cumulative contribution of these efforts. In this study, we manually examined a random sample of 250 articles in order to estimate the prevalence of a ran… Show more

“…Unfortunately, only one meta-analysis shared the analysis script. This result is in line with previous research (Hardwicke, Thibault, et al, 2020b;Hardwicke, Wallach, et al, 2020c;Polanin et al, 2020;Wallach et al, 2018).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Yet, an overwhelming majority of the studies included did not have a data availability statement, preregistration statement, link to an accessible protocol, analysis script availability statement, or material availability statement. These findings are consistent with prior reports of reproducibility and transparency in the medical ,10,12,14 and surgical literature. 7,8,11…”
