Qualitative Transparency Deliberations

While QTD is a discussion that aims to be broader than the discussion around DART and JETS, I think it is still important that part of the discussion engages DART and JETS because people are coming to these boards in part motivated by these changes and thanks to the protest movement that highlighted...

Five 38 just posted an interesting article about the benefits of badges in academic publishing

In my research I primarily use RCTs and time series to study impact of governance innovations and the first time I read about the Dart debate it took me a bit to get out of my mindset and understand the nuances that my colleagues that use other methodologies were highlighting.

Gary I completely agree with your post. And I want to try to build upon it. I think that in the attempt to solve the problems of statistical observational research we might generate the same problems for qualitative research. I do not know what the audience is so I have written a modular post: -> fo...
