Guidelines (e.g., Inter- UniversityConsortiumforPoliticalandSocialResearch,2012)areavailabletoassist researchers in formatting a variety of data types, including qualitative and quanti- tative, for their sharing.And anopen and lively debate is alsowhether researchers or publishers are responsible (or guilty) for (not) sharing their dataMurray-Rust (2008), Molloy (2011), Vision (2010), Boulton, Rawlins, Vallance and Walport (2011), Fecher and Friesike (2014).Wilkinson et al. (2016) recommend for shar- ingofdata that researchers should followtheirproposed“FAIR”principles tomake data:findable, accessible, interoperableand reusable.

Open questions and concerns about registered reports areansweredbyChamberset al.

That is happening, in particular, due to the opportunities that worldwide internet and new technologies, tools andcommunicationchannels areoffering. In thecurrent seconddecadeof the twenty-first century, science is facing the beginning of a post-truth age (Higgins,
