In this short commentary, I argue that supplementary materials may provide the perfect opportunity to spin findings and make manuscripts look more consistent, a kind of file drawer 2.0.
While the file drawer problem is about selectively *reporting* findings, misusing supplementary materials is about selectively *presenting* information. Everything is technically there and available, but not all elements are made equally visible to readers.
In the article, I discuss the influence of external constraints, such as word limits, in shaping the use of supplementary materials. I also review possible solutions to better organise information between the main document and the supplements.
In short, placing information in supplementary materials should be justified, organised within and between files, and controlled by peers.

New publication. Congrats to the whole team, and especially @paulbertin.bsky.social who led this effort. Thanks also to the editor (Nicolas Sommet) and reviewers, who desserve credit for improving our paper.
