I read the paper, I saw the plots accompanying the paper, and I tried following the rabbit hole in search of <i>some</i> raw data that I can get my hands on, just to see if I can.<p>Perhaps the data is the result of the experiments that have been paid for by a third party, fine, but please mention that! People might be willing to pay for it, for example, me!<p>What's wrong with "Here's the raw data, here's how we measured it, Here's how we've shown the data, and look you can see for yourself that we are right! oh and the data costs $$$ much." ?<p>I understand experiment reproducibility is not incentivised in academia, but then why make it hard for an external party to reproduce it/study it?<p>Do we have to go through the usual "Contact the academic, maybe they answer, and maybe you'll get the same (version of) data that they used in that experiment, maybe you'll have to go through Elsevier, oh and you must have .edu/.ac.uk address to be taken seriously through all those requests."<p>What a chore. Just adds to the hate towards 'experts' and their opinions.
