I thought that the Shelby Amendment from about 1999 required federal research grants to require that the data be made available. Why nothing about it? [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 02:12, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

: In the wikipedia article on [[Scientific data archiving]], I covered the NSF policy on archiving. I don't know much about the history or how the policy came to be adopted. Was there a particular event that spawned the legislation? If you are able to add something of interest, please do. Personally, I think data archiving and its opposite, data withholding, should be discussed in the same article. But the data withholding portion became controversial on Wikipedia because I insisted on using the textbook description of it as "pseudoscience." I thought it better to split the two concepts because data archiving is of general interest and should not be controversial at all. I am going to rewrite the data archiving article to remove anything controversial. [[User:RonCram|RonCram]] 05:36, 1 April 2007 (EDT)
