       | prevent other researchers from getting it and publishing on it.
       | This is at odds with any lip service they may pay to open
       | science, and, often, at odds with the explicit requirements of
       | their funders. As noted in this article, they often deny
       | reasonable requests for data, or just ignore the requests
       | altogether. Of course, everybody wants access to other people's
       | data.

       | Academia is full of things you "should" like data sharing,
       | preregistrations, and all kinds of statements about honesty.
       | However, there is almost no incentive provided for such actions
       | and I wonder how effective the measures are in the first place.
       | It's like running a company by metrics only. It's great for
       | management but stifles innovation. At the same time, more rules
       | do not stop truly malicious actors, they will find a workaround
       | anyway.

         | Here is the truth: Look at the incentives and I tell you how
         | people will behave. On an individual level, sharing data has
         | great costs and zero (nothing, nada, zilch, null) benefits. All
         | appeals to the common good change nothing if optimising for an
         | academic career means ignoring these very appeals.

           | 
           | screed noise

             | Dismissing people's personal experiences on the bases of
             | "citation needed" is combative and useless.
