  • Summary

    Whereas quantitative researchers often share their research designs and their data and encourage one another to rerun their analyses, qualitative researchers cannot as easily do so. However, they can enhance reliability in other ways. Moravcsik introduces new practices designed to enhance three dimensions of research transparency: data transparency, which stipulates that researchers should publicize the data and evidence on which their research rests; analytic transparency, which stipulates that researchers should publicize how they interpret and analyze evidence in order to generate descriptive and causal inferences; and production transparency, which stipulates that social scientists should publicize the broader set of design choices that underlie the research. To respond to these needs, Moravcsik couples technology with the practice of discursive footnotes common in law journals. He discusses the rationale for creating a digitally enabled appendix with annotated source materials, called Active Citation or the Annotated Transparency Initiative.
