closeThis paper should be taken down for violating PLoS:One's data sharing policy
Posted by Mike_Lawrence on 04 Nov 2011 at 17:01 GMT
Despite PLoS:One's data sharing policy that articles must share data (or be taken down), the data from this paper appears to be unavailable. The authors originally declined requests to share the data then ceased correspondence on the matter. PLoS itself intervened and was able to extract a version of the data from the authors, but this version lacked the information regarding the order in which each participant experienced each condition, making the data useless. I've notified PLoS of this, but they have too ceased responding to my emails.
