It seems like all of the data is in the article to me. There are searchable tables on all of the criteria and the information comes from the publicly accessible TV show that is being studied. I’m sure if you trawled through every episode and charted the guests yourself, it would be easy to point out anything false.
It looks like the study is still ongoing and has not been “published” in that it has not been written up and peer reviewed, but this is an article about the raw data collected and drawing some conclusions from that alone.
Even if it were peer reviewed and published in a journal, the peers would not go through and verify the data before publication.
Yeah that’s all fine and good. I just thought it was odd that they don’t mention this. I’m not sure why they didn’t. But I only spent a few minutes looking at the article, it was just something that crossed my mind. Usually this a big red flag when talking about and presenting data, that’s all.

There are articles about studies, and there are articles of investigative reporting. This is the latter.
