A solution
My idea was to collate a list of openly available psychological datasets. I did this initially for my own benefit and then realised the benefit of sharing it publicly. As I had no funding to build a platform, I decided to adopt a service that would be trivial for others to access and edit—a Google Docs spreadsheet.
I simply listed datasets and what they contained south korea rcs data rather than provide the data itself. I then organised a hackathon session at the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS) 2019 conference in Rotterdam to give others a chance to search for useable datasets and add them to the list. Laura Botzet, Cory Costello, Anatolia Batruch, Ruben Arslan, Melissa Kline, Nicolas Sommet, Tobias Dienlin and Hannah Metzler joined me in a successful effort to expand the list and add metadata on themes, keywords, study populations, etc. contributors have already identified a range of useful datasets that I had never heard of.
In this spirit of transparency, the list is openly editable for others who discover additional datasets or who could help fill in the blank cells. In addition, this transparency has led to open discussion (largely on Twitter) about the validity of incorporating some datasets in the list, and in one case, debate leading to agreed removal of an OkCupid dataset because the participants had not provided informed consent.
