Statistical Test Usage in Usable Privacy and Security Research

Supplemental material for the 2025 SOUPS paper by Tang et al. contains two files: a list of Symposium on Usable Security and Privacy (SOUPS) papers considered in the study and a table detailing the statistical tests and associated statistics examined. The dataset supports analysis of methodological reporting and interpretation in the usable privacy and security research domain.

Use Cases

• Meta-analysis of statistical test usage across SOUPS papers based on the provided tests and statistics table.
• Identifying temporal trends in publication and methodology by linking papers to their year of publication.
• Benchmarking reporting practices against a defined list of considered statistical tests.
• Replicating or extending the study's findings using the provided paper list and test catalog.

Strengths

• Directly supports a peer-reviewed SOUPS 2025 publication, indicating academic relevance.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.
• Cross-platform presence on figshare suggests established curation.
• Contains two structured components: a paper list and a test catalog.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row counts are not provided in the metadata, limiting immediate assessment of structure.
• The dataset's scope is confined to papers from the SOUPS symposium.
• Relies on inferred content from descriptions; specific data formats (PDF/TXT) are not detailed.
