text: The main impression that I get from the emails is that the various scientists think that I and other requesters are simply doing this to harass them. Nothing could be further from the truth. I respect actual scientists, I??m short of time myself so I understand time pressures, so I have no desire to put any scientist to any extra effort beyond providing what science requires a full accounting of the data, the methods, and in some cases the computer code used to do the research. Anything more is harassment but anything less is scientific obstruction. And if they would provide those things when they publish their results, they??d never hear from me. And if Nature Magazine and Science Magazine and the National Science Foundation and all of the journals and funders would just enforce their own existing rules on archiving and transparency, the problem would be solved. But noooo, for the select friends of Phil these bothersome transparency regulations are ignored and overlooked.
