3 Informed consent

When asking study participants for informed consent, it is important to also inform them about the data sharing plans for the study. ICPSR offers some recommendations for informed consent language for data sharing (http://bit.ly/2tWFAQK) and the data management guidelines of the German Psychological Association (http://bit.ly/2ulBgt5) provide an example informed consent in Appendix B. Based on these two resources and the informed consent forms we have used in our own labs, we created two informed consent templates that researchers can use and adapt to their needs: one for when no personal data is being collected (https://osf.io/sfjw9/), and one for when personal data is being collected (https://osf.io/kxbva/). For further recommendations on how to formulate an informed consent that is compatible with open science practices, see Meyer (2018).
