If only the resistance could be reserved for the 'irrational non-traditional' approaches that occur from time to time.Couchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611525221506645929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117766536783887540.post-80775241374302352532013-01-25T12:51:32.669-05:002013-01-25T12:51:32.669-05:00For those interested in publishing BARCODE data re...For those interested in publishing BARCODE data release papers and the process of science I recommend the following links:<br /><br />Consortium for the Barcode of Life guidelines for authors:<br />http://barcoding.si.edu/guidelines.html<br /><br />Berkeley interactive flowchart on how science works:<br />http://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/scienceflowchart<br /><br />This latter link is highly interactive and shows the fullness of the scientific enterprise beyond (and encompassing) the linear hypothetic-deductive model. Notably, barcoding relates to all aspects of science, from "testing ideas" to "exploration and discovery", "community analysis and feedback" and "benefits and outcomes". As Collins and Cruickshank suggest, barcode papers would do well to more clearly articulate their objectives, particularly in light of this expanded view of the scientific process.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191598601912689500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117766536783887540.post-30385033315791330922013-01-24T15:39:54.507-05:002013-01-24T15:39:54.507-05:00Glad the paper's generating some discussion!
...Glad the paper's generating some discussion!<br /><br />I certainly agree that not all studies need to be hypothetical-deductive, but it would be nice if this was clearly stated. Therefore, I think data release papers are great idea. Perhaps in hindsight, mentioning and explaining this type of publication may have been a beneficial addition to the 'seven sins' paper ...Rupert A.
