Research transparency, reproducibility, and data sharing uphold core principles of science at a time when the integrity of scientific research is being questioned. This paper discusses how research data in psychology can be made accessible for reproducibility and reanalysis. We describe ways to overcome barriers to data sharing, such as practical measures for protecting the confidentiality of research participants and improving documentation of the research process. We also advocate policies that recognize research data and program code as important scientific contributions.
