Hi all, This has come up a few times today, so I thought I'd clarify -- Even if you are prevented by your original author from uploading or distributing the data, you should still create a replication file and upload what you can (including the R code that you used). You should also get and report the UNF and cite it in your paper. Here's an example: Gary King; Langche Zeng, 2006, "Replication Data Set for 'When Can History be Our Guide? The Pitfalls of Counterfactual Inference'" hdl:1902.1/DXRXCFAWPK ?UNF:3:DaYlT6QSX9r0D50ye+tXpA== Murray Research Archive [distributor] I've closely monitoring people's submissions to dataverse, and I don't want to release any replication archives that don't have data files, abstracts, and R code. If you are in a position where you can't upload data, but you have the other components, let me know and I will release your study. Maya

I'm trying to upload my r code and an extra dataset to the dataverse, but my files never load properly. I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or not. -Ashley Anderson On 4/29/10 4:34 PM, "Maya Sen" <msen at fas.harvard.edu> wrote: > One additional piece of info (which I myself just learned!).

One additional piece of info (which I myself just learned!). Dataverse is currently equipped to generate URFs for SPSS and stata data files (.dta, .spss, .por). If you're saving your data as .Rdata or .csv or .txt, then you might not get a UNF, in which case you should include in the cite the unique URL only. As always, let me know if you run into problems!
