There's an interesting essay in today's NYTimes complaining about researchers who won't allow others to look at their data, even after the research has been published. According to the article, 75% (not just a few cranky scientists) refuse to do so. This would seem to violate the Mertonian norm of open communication...or is there a difference between "data" and the "science" (knowledge) that appears in articles?
