Kenneth Rogoff shared the Excel files behind their influential paper on the relationship between government debt and economic growth, that a very basic and consequential spreadsheet error was discovered.</p> <p>Suddenly, a conclusion that policy makers around the world had seized on for years to justify steep spending cuts was thrown in doubt.</p> <div class="ad-unit ad-unit--desktop

expected from the start. His platform is adding a feature today that lets researchers post the data behind their work through embeddable data-sets and code on their profile pages.</p> <p>“They literally drew the wrong rectangle and dropped off the last few rows of data. It wasn’t a hardcore programming error,” he said.</p> <p>Price asserts that <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/100698106">the Reinhart-Rogoff controversy</a> along with another recent scandal involving <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/magazine/diederik-stapels-audacious-academic-fraud.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0">a Dutch social scientist</a> who faked data for 10 years is damaging public trust in scientific research.</p> <p>Price said the Dutch scientist Diederik Stapel justified his fraudulent data by saying he felt pressure to make conclusions simpler for the journals. “He said, ‘They want elegant results and elegant data with beautiful conclusions. But the data behind an experiment can be so messy.’”</p> <p>Because of incidents like the Stapel fraud, Price believes that a pushback against traditional, less transparent and more expensive publishing models is gaining steam. Other competitors like ResearchGate and ScienceExchange are jumping on the bandwagon too.</p><div class="marfeel-experience-inline-cta wp-block-tc23-marfeel-experience"> </div> <p>“The academic community is getting a bit radicalized about publishing,” he said. “It’s literally happened in the last 12 months with a series of things that are spreading a wave of awareness.”</p> <p>Historically, academics have only shared their finished work in the form of a paper that’s vetted by a journal (that’s then sold back to universities at sometimes thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a year).</p> <p>Academics have been slower to jump on behaviors from consumer social media where people publish quick updates instead of longer-form content. He says that about three-quarters of the world’s scientific data isn’t shared because the right incentives and platforms haven’t existed.</p> <div class="ad-unit ad-unit--desktop ad-unit--native wp-block-tc-ads-ad-slot"> <div class="ad-unit__ad" id="us-tc-ros-dt-native-midarticle" data-unitcode="us_tc_ros_dt_native_midarticle" data-sizes="["fluid"]" style="min-height:0px;min-width:0px;"> </div> </div> <div class="ad-unit ad-unit--mobile ad-unit--has-placeholder ad-unit--display wp-block-tc-ads-ad-slot has-background has-gray-100-background-color"> <div class="ad-unit__ad" id="us-tc-ros-mw-mid-center" data-unitcode="us_tc_ros_mw_mid_center" data-sizes="[[300,250]]" style="min-height:250px;min-width:300px;"> </div> </div> <p>“Publishing scientific research is changing from being a very focused discipline to one where a fuller range of outputs and multimedia is being shared,” Price said. “Part of pushing this forward is about getting the incentives right. If you share your data, you should be able to build your reputation.”</p> <p>One benefit is that collaborating researchers might be able to take the basic data and tease out totally different ideas than the original academic.</p> <p>You can <a target="_blank" href="//blog.academia.edu/post/49814995816/academia-edu-releases-embedded-data-sets-and-code/">read more in Price’s blog post
