Modified Weight Bias Internalization Scale dataset
No full textThis repository contains data collected as part of an MSc Project in the Academic Year 2022/23. 205 participants are included who completed an online study, all of whom were undergraduate or postgraduate university students. Measures of disordered eating, weight bias internalisation, eating-disorder quality of life, health-related quality of life, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms were included.
The study looked at the relationship between disordered eating, quality of life, and weight bias internalisation. In addition to forming part of an MSc thesis, the data have subsequently been used as part of a further study to look at the psychometric properties of the WBIS-M in a student sample
Promoting schools’ positive orientations to diversity to improve educational outcomes for multilingual learners
No full textThe data are interviews from a collaborative project between Flynn (University of Reading) and Hampshire's Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Service (EMTAS). The project was a British Academy Innovation Fellowship knowledge exchange project in which Flynn and EMTAS worked together to find out a) what schools felt they needed in terms of support for their multilingual learners who are learning English to access the curriculum, and b) what sort of online tool might support them in school-led improvements to both pedagogy for multilingual learners and positive mindset towards these learners. The project resulted in an online toolkit called The Talk-Rich Teaching Toolkit which supported schools in resourcing the oracy education (spoken language) of both their multilingual learners and their children from Gypsy Roma and Traveller backgrounds
Outputs related to the factors affecting chiropractic student performance
Full text linkThis dataset contains quantitative and qualitative data in relation to chiropractic students from the UK. Data was collected between 2021 and 2022.
Four related datasets are presented. The first is quantitative and qualitative data from a national survey of chiropractic students exploring the reasons they chose to study chiropractic. This includes demographic information about participants and narratives relating to their decision to study chiropractic.
The second dataset is quantitative data from the student record system for participants from a single cohort of final year chiropractic students in the UK. This data provides demographic information as well as information related to academic achievement over their previous years of study.
The third dataset contains qualitative and quantitative data from a survey of final year students from one chiropractic course in the UK. This includes data relating to participant self-perceived motivation to study, time spent in private study, participation in social clubs, working with others, interactions with staff and students and their previous education experiences.
The final dataset contains interview transcripts from participants, purposively selected using the data obtained from the student record system and final year participant surveys. These participants were asked about their motivation, study habits, social clubs and previous educational experiences as well as the factors which they felt affected their performance. Data is fully anonymised with pseudonyms used in place of actual names, personal information altered and locations changed
ACER2: The Abrupt Climate Changes and Environmental Responses Database (version 2)
Full text linkThe Abrupt Climate Changes and Environmental Responses (ACER) database (Sánchez Goñi et al., 2017) was originally developed to provide pollen and charcoal data for investigating past climate events. Since its publication, many additional records have been generated, but the original database has not been updated.
This dataset includes site metadata, age models, and pollen counts from all sites not included in the original ACER database. Extensive data validation has been carried out, including the correction of spelling errors, removal of duplicates caused by unnecessary spacing, and standardisation of taxonomic synonyms using Plants of the World Online (POWO) as a reference. Non-pollen taxa (e.g., fungi), obligate aquatics, mangroves, and carnivorous plants have been excluded.
Taxon names have also been harmonised to align with the terminology used in version 3 of the SPECIAL Modern Pollen Database (SMPDSv3). This includes the preservation of three levels of taxonomic harmonisation: CLEAN, INTERMEDIATE, and AMALGAMATED
Human intervention trial data assessing the impact of cellobiose, oligofructose P95 and maltodextrin supplementation on the gut microbiome and metabolite profile
Full text linkThis dataset contains the underlying experimental data for a human intervention trial investigating the effects of commercial cellobiose, oligofructose P95, and maltodextrin (placebo) on the gut microbiome community, metabolite changes, and gastrointestinal habits.
The data supports the findings reported in the manuscript: 'Exploring the prebiotic potential of commercial cellobiose: In vivo approach of commercial cellobiose compared to placebo (maltodextrin) and fructooligosaccharides: a randomized, controlled trial'.
This study is also presented as Chapter 5 of the PhD thesis: 'Extraction of cellobiose from spent coffee grounds and prebiotic potential of commercial cellobiose'.
Outcomes include:
- Gut microbiome profiling using Quantitative Microbiome Profiling (QMP) (Flow-FISH + 16S rRNA sequencing).
- Metabolite changes (Short-Chain Fatty Acids via GC-FID).
- Gastrointestinal tolerability and bowel habits

Its contents are two-fold: (1) Experimental X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data of a select few ionic liquids studied in the article, in .vms - which can be accessed using CasaXPS - and .txt (2) The output files of three of the ionic liquids studied computationally using Gaussian 16
Reversal learning reliability behavioural dataset
No full textThis repository contains re-test data for a reversal learning task completed by 150 participants, and associated scripts for the analysis of the reliability of behavioural and computational model parameters.
Participants completed 150 trials of the reversal learning task where they were presented with two visually distinguishable abstract stimuli and had to learn through experience which of these two choices were "better". Throughout the task the "better" choice would change, such that the "better" stimulus became the "worse" stimulus and vice versa.
This repository also includes the scripts needed to replicate our analysis presented in the associated publication (Williams, B., FitzGibbon, L., Brady, D., & Christakou, A. (2025). Sample size matters when estimating test-retest reliability of behaviour. Behavior Research Methods), including the calculation of reliability metrics, our effects of sample size on variance component simulation, generating plots, and statistical analysis
Dataset supporting the article 'Efficient prediction of the local electronic structure of ionic liquids from low-cost calculations'
No full textThis compressed file is supplementary to the article cited in the 'Related publication' section below. Its contents are two-fold: (1) Experimental X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data of all ionic liquids studied in the article, in .vms format which can be accessed using CasaXPS and (2) The output files of all the ionic liquids studied computationally. These computational files will allow you to replicate the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations using Gaussian 16 shown in the article

Content list of a corpus of texts from the English language GCSE exams
Full text linkThis is a list of the separate documents used to create a corpus of texts from the English language GCSE exams. The list in includes titles of sources, authors, dates of publications, exam series, exam boards and the exam board websites from which they were sourced. These texts were used to create a corpus that was analysed as part of a PhD project that examined the language in the exams and the comprehension challenge that this language could present to students
