This blog post provides a quick tour of some recent developments in the push for routine data sharing. A follow-up post will identify some misunderstandings about the PLOS One PACE data set that I am trying to access. I will argue that there should be an immediate, unconditional release of the data set.

I haven't read this yet - it looks to be quite long, so I'm gonna make some popcorn first.

I love how he is able to place PACE into the context of the open data movement.

Open data isn't just a high ideal, it's about weeding out the junk science that is harmful to society and science itself.

Prof Coyne asked this be shared widely on social media and comment directly on his blog. He is probably asking for some leverage to help PLOS taking a stronger stance in this regards.

Twitter, Facebook and blogging are all great ways to share. Tag #PACEtrial and @CoyneoftheRealm
