Extract

Political scientists believe they ought to promote research as a social enterprise and develop a stronger sense of community within the discipline. They disagree on how to foster community and on the best way to promote research. The position taken in “Replication, Replication” (King 1995) is that these goals can be achieved by requiring researchers who collect data to surrender the products of their labor to others without compensation.
