::: Thanks MarieB, I just called the number for PNAS that you provided.  The PNAS staffer said that I should first contact the author to request the data, which I have done, and if that is unsuccessful, as it has been, then the next step is to contact PNAS at the above email address.

::: Jareddr's description of PNAS policy is incomplete.  In fact, PNAS has adopted "UPSIDE", which is the Uniform Principle for Sharing Integral Data and Materials Expeditiously.  That standard establishes that the "author's obligation is ... to release data and materials to enable others to verify or replicate published findings," and that the "upside" is that this "keeps science honest."  Moreover, PNAS expressly rejects "a requirement that the material be used for research purposes."
