Badges to Acknowledge Open Practices: A Simple, Low-Cost, Effective Method for Increasing Transparency https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002456 'Open Data' badges on scientific papers hugely increased the amount of open data. Reminds me of READMEs with testing badges!
