Author guidelines for journals could help to promote transparency, openness, and reproducibility
The tension between women s workplace opportunity and family obligation is not exclusively a phenomenon of the 1980s, as George Alter makes abundantly clear in this study. His close investigation lives nineteenth-century European industrial city advances our knowledge several areas social history, historical demography, life course studies. It first monograph to apply event history analysis study history. In doing so, it moves beyond static categories traditional household studies dynamic...
This pioneering study reconceptualizes the impact of social organizations, economic conditions, and human agency on reproduction in preindustrial communities Europe Asia. Unlike previous studies, which Asia is meeasured by European standards, Prudence Pressure develops a Eurasian perspective. Drawing rich new data tools event-history analysis, authors challenge accepted Eurocentric Malthusian view that attributes prudence (smaller families due to late marriage) West pressure (high mortality...
Abstract Today’s science increasingly requires effective ways to find and access existing datasets that are distributed across a range of repositories. For researchers in the life sciences, discoverability may soon become as essential identifying latest publications via PubMed. Through an international collaborative effort funded by National Institutes Health (NIH)’s Big Data Knowledge (BD2K) initiative, we have designed implemented DAta Tag Suite (DATS) model support DataMed data discovery...
Abstract Objective Finding relevant datasets is important for promoting data reuse in the biomedical domain, but it challenging given volume and complexity of data. Here we describe development an open source discovery system called DataMed, with goal building additional indexes domain. Materials Methods which can efficiently index search diverse types across repositories, developed through National Institutes Health–funded healthCAre Data Discovery Index Ecosystem (bioCADDIE) consortium. It...
Insurance records from historical sources and recent health surveys suggest that movements in mortality morbidity are inversely related. Data nineteenth century England show increases the prevalence of sickness at all adult ages same time death rates were falling. This paper examines theoretical models which relate morbidity. The heterogeneous 'frailty' model proposed by Vaupel, Manton, Stallard is adapted to effect on increased survival relatively 'frail' individuals. also modified making...
The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Committee met in November 2014 to address one important element of the incentive systems - journals’ procedures policies for publication. outcome effort is TOP Guidelines. There are eight standards guidelines; each move scientific communication toward greater openness. These modular, facilitating adoption whole or part. However, they also complement other, that commitment standard may facilitate others. Moreover, guidelines sensitive barriers...
The number of people conducting scientific analyses and the topics being studied are higher than ever. At same time, there questions about public value social endeavors, particularly federally funded quantitative research (Prewitt 2013). In this article, we contend that data access transparency essential to enterprise as a whole credibility growing individuals who conduct such (also see Esterling
The ability to replicate, or reproduce, research is fundamental the scientific process. Research combining a variety of georeferenced data spreading rapidly across domains and international borders. This suggests growing potential for use integration new existing sets create multi-disciplinary collaborations. Yet, unique characteristics present special challenges such These are highly identifiable when presented in maps other visualizations combined with sensor related geospatial sets....
This issue of the Journal Empirical Research on Human Ethics highlights ethical issues that arise when researchers conducting projects in low- and middle-income countries seek to share data they produce. Although sharing is considered a best practice, barriers doing so are considerable there need for guidance examples. To end, authors this article reviewed articles special identify challenges common five offer some practical advice assist navigating “uncharted territory,” as termed it....

In the nineteenth century, well-established proto-industrial textile and iron production was replaced by mechanization in rapidly growing cities. this article we examine consequences transition on heights young men seven communities with contrasting histories. Men area were unusually short but trend strongly upward. There is also some evidence that urban areas experienced setbacks when they most rapidly. Comparison among...
Abstract Explanations of historical trends in both mortality and human height differ over the relative contributions better nutrition reduced exposure to disease. This paper explores theoretical models which interactions between diet disease determine height. One model assumes that adult is directly related frailty, risk dying.

The rapid proliferation of publicly available biomedical datasets has provided abundant resources that are potentially value as a means to reproduce prior experiments, and generate explore novel hypotheses. However, there number barriers the re-use such datasets, which distributed across broad array dataset repositories, focusing on different data types indexed using terminologies. New methods needed enable researchers locate interest within this rapidly expanding information ecosystem, new...
The Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) is a standard data format that has been adopted by several large longitudinal databases on historical populations. Since the publication of first version in Historical Social Research 2009, two improved and extended versions have published Collaboratory Life Courses. In this we present 4 which latest 'official' IDS. Discussions with users over last four years resulted important changes, like inclusion new table defining hierarchical relationships among...
We explore the savings behavior of ordinary Americans through their accounts at Philadelphia Saving Fund Society, oldest mutual bank in United States. Our sample contains all 2,374 opened 1850. Savings were generally brief affairs, but median balances mounted to about three-quarters annual income three years. Deposits and withdrawals infrequent, substantial. Only female servants, as a group, used for life-cycle savings, eventually amassing large nest eggs. Men often them hold funds before...
