[off-topic: not even a gratuitous org reference. My only excuse is the general interest of list members on reproducible research (org-babel! OK, that's the requisite gratuitous reference: I feel better now :-) )] 538.com has published a couple of interesting articles on some poli-sci research:
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-two-grad-students-uncovered-michael-lacour-fraud-and-a-way-to-change-opinions-on-transgender-rights/#ss-1 and http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/as-a-major-retraction-shows-were-all-vulnerable-to-faked-data/ N.B. the reference to the "open data" policies of AJPS - that seems to be clearly the future direction of research (and, imo, it's about time). -- Nick
