Rules
This is my site. It’s an evolving experiment in collaborative and peer reviewed analysis. Everything on it reflects on me so I developed some rules to try to encourage a scientific method of analysis. Contributions to this site through comments are welcome but they must also obey these rules.
They are:
- Show work. Like your teacher and professor told you: no credit without a clear trail of logic. Extra credit for brevity, clarity and visualization.
- Attribute and cite what is not your work. This is why URLs were invented.
- Share data. Keeping analysis secret reduces its value and accuracy because it is not subject to peer review.
- Cite only public information. If the owner does not want to share, he or she has the right to keep secrets (but see rule 3).
- Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
- Maintain zero tolerance for lack of civility. Any disrespectful comments will be deleted. There are no warnings.
