Recommendations for date/time formats?

[Felix Schönbrodt]

Dear all,

is it within the scope of psych-DS to recommend certain formats for date / date-time variables (and potentially other common variables)?

(I would say: yes.)

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 is the way to go, with

• YYYY-MM-DD for dates and
• YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (or HH:MM:SS.SSS) for date-times

At least for the meta-data json (which also contains dates), this should be defined and validated in the validator.

Best,

Felix
