An excellent investigation highlighting the value of sharing code, in addition to data, for establishing reproducibility.
We crowdsourced 85 teams to indep. computationally reproduce results from a single study in randomized conditions. Reproducibility:
• depends heavily on the transparency of materials
• high (~95%) for same sign/sig, but low (btw. 48-77% depending on transparency) when requiring within 0.1 effects

Speaking of null results, have a look at this outstanding study by @nicolaiberk.bsky.social, just out with us at Political Communication, where he shows with exemplary rigor how BILD's sudden shift towards framing immigration as related to crime had zero effect on readers' attitudes on immigration.
But have these practices led to an increase in publications of null results? Not really. Almost all articles still talk about non-null results in their abstracts and precise nulls are still almost non-existent.
