Open Data Initiative

We believe rigorous research requires open data. All datasets underlying our published findings are freely available for verification, replication, and further research.

Our Commitment to Open Science

The Table Temperature Alignment Project is committed to the highest standards of scientific transparency. We publish all primary data, analysis code, and model parameters to enable independent verification of our findings. Our datasets are released under Creative Commons licenses to maximize their utility for researchers, policymakers, and the public.

We follow FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and deposit archival copies with the Open Science Framework to ensure long-term availability.
