Publications

Fulltexts

All our publications are freely accessible to all. Most are openly available from the publisher’s website (gold open access; see [DOI] links below]), the remainder is made available here (green open access; see [PDF] links below). In some cases, only the author’s version can be shared (i.e., before copy-editing).

Open Data

Since 2018, all our papers have open data, materials, and analysis scripts available from the Open Science Framework (OSF; see https://osf.io/h93n8) or other data repositories. See the [Dataset] links below.

Preprints

Preprints are early versions of scientific papers that have not yet been formally peer-reviewed. Hence, they are subject to change, should not be reported as conclusive, and are listed separately from peer-reviewed publications below. This also means we’re open to feedback and suggestions from interested readers. Send us your comments!
