Data availability statements need teeth

Author
Abstract
"Available on reasonable request" has an empirically dismal success rate, and journals have the leverage to stop accepting it. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
