Extract

As evidenced by the thoughtful symposium participants, political scientists have a variety of opinions about verification, replication, and data archiving. I continue to have strong reservations regarding the proposed replication, verification, data relinquishment rules debated here. The symposium, however, has convinced me of one important thing: a still broader discussion is needed before editors or organizations change the norms governing research or publication. Walter Stone's (1995) proposal to survey political scientists to obtain their opinions on verification/replication is, therefore, a good one.
