Ong YK, Double KL, Bero L, Diong J (2023) Responsible research practices could be more strongly endorsed by Australian university codes of research conduct. Research Integrity and Peer Review (in press).

University codes of research conduct and all related documents assessed are available in the project folder of the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://osf.io/yfz8k/

The protocol for this study is stored in the OSF project folder, and registered: https://osf.io/kd8xm

Raw data are stored in data/raw/.

Python code files (Python v3.9) were written by Joanna Diong.

script: Main script to run analysis.

proc: Module containing functions used to clean data and plot figures.

A reliable way to reproduce the analysis would be to run the code in an integrated development environment for Python (e.g. PyCharm).

Create a virtual environment and install dependencies. Using the Terminal (Mac or Linux, or PyCharm Terminal),

python -m venv env

Next, activate the virtual environment.

For Mac or Linux,

source env/bin/activate

For Windows,

.\env\Scripts\activate

Then, install dependencies,

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download all files into a single folder and run script.py.
