Summary

A data-availability post for the 2018 SSC survey (8,077 respondents): links to the questions, the results page, the Mechanical Turk comparison survey, and downloadable anonymized data (7,298 who consented), with a promise of later 'Least Publishable Unit' analyses. Pure housekeeping, but it releases a durable, heavily-reused research dataset.

Why this score

Quality 48 · Solid. Solid (48): a competent data-release stub with minimal content of its own (matches the SSC-849 2020-survey-results score of 48).

Claude’s paradigm shift 25 · Slight. Slight (25): no novelty; procedural data release.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. Minor-plus (2): RWI lifted above negligible because the released survey dataset is a durable resource many downstream analyses draw on.
