This from reader Lance:
The Feb 11 Science magazine (v331, p649) states a new journal policy--they will now require that authors archive not only their data on a website (copy to be held at Science) but also their computer codes!
Think of the time and exasperation that Steve McI could have been spared had the journal that published the Hockey Stick had this policy in place.
On the other hand, the world would have lost the "rattlingly good" Hockey Stick Illusion as well.
I almost think that Science has been listening to M&M, WUWT, and Your Grace.
The new policy doesn't appear to be online. It's certainly welcome.
