In a commitment to continue progress not only in the openness of data but also in the quality of sharing, the journal now accepts Verification Reports. In essence, we will commit to working with researchers to publish attempts to reproduce analyses published using data from papers in our pages. We expect this to be of great benefit to evidence the accessibility of the data we publish about, highlight consistent areas of poor-quality sharing that would be of benefit to our community, and provide rewards within the current incentive scheme for researchers who attempt to reproduce (and perhaps extend) the analyses of others.

The Journal of Open Psychology Data (JOPD) is devoting a Special Issue to psychological research data in the educational field. Research on educational topics is conducted not only in psychology, but in many different disciplines, like pedagogy, linguistics, sociology, political science, economics, or even history.
