Hi gang, I had another thought for an additional item to be added to my
suggestions on how to choose articles to replicate. I just added it as #4
at
http://gking.harvard.edu/papers/, but here's a copy too:
Although throughout the process you will (i.e., should) do whatever you can
to avoid a conflictual relationship with the authors of the article you
replicate, you might as well eliminate the possibility altogether for those
with whom you have ongoing professional relationships, such as faculty on
your committee or in your department. Since there are so many other options
out there, its easy to avoid even potential conflicts like these by making
wise choices now. This will also help you ensure that your decisions are not
influenced by anything but producing the best work.
I hope that's helpful.
Gary
