DESCRIPTION:The integrity of psychological science hinges on rigorous and t
 ransparent measurement. We evaluated a fundamental psycholinguistic resear
 ch practice—the creation of large-scale databases that measure people's 
 subjective experience with words (such as 'familiarity')—by critically r
 eviewing approximately 60 studies. Preliminary analyses revealed systemic 
 issues that undermine cumulative science: pervasive conceptual ambiguity (
 conflating ‘familiarity’ with ‘subjective frequency’)\, critical l
 apses in transparency (e.g.\, lacked data cleaning details)\, and profound
  barriers to data reuse and generalizability (over 80% WEIRD samples).\nIn
  direct response\, this project provides an evidence-based roadmap for ref
 orm. Moving beyond critique\, we offer actionable guidelines to improve re
 search practices\, advocating for: 1) standardized terminology to enhance 
 conceptual clarity and reproducibility\; 2) mandated Open Science practice
 s for data\, materials\, and methods\; and 3) strategic sampling to improv
 e generalizability. This work provides a template for field-specific metho
 dological reform\, directly contributing to a more robust and trustworthy 
 science.
