The datasets included in this folder are provided for the convenience of reproducing our analyses. The citation and source of each dataset is listed in the supplementary tables of our two manuscripts. Most included datasets have been posted to public repositories (FigShare and DataDryad) and are therefore citable. Not all datasets used in our analyses are included (see the manuscripts' supplementary materials). Datasets entailing original (raw) data are provided with the consent of the original author. Datasets whose source is listed as Novak & Stouffer (2020) were extracted from the original publication.
PLEASE obtain and cite each study and dataset appropriately for use in your own analyses.
