Abstract
American Psychological Association (APA) journals do not
publish raw data, hence data are effectively inaccessible. I
propose that authors of research papers should transfer their data
to an Internet site so it can be accessed over Internet by
anonymous ftp. I suggest that such data archiving would (1) make
fraud easier to detect, (2) encourage scientific criticism and (3)
aid the scientific process in general. Nor should it be difficult
to implement.
