Hi All,
The following are the relevant dates for the various stages of the
replication project. These are group due dates. We do not need to hear
from each student individually. Gary and Patrick, please add anything else
that I may have missed.
Today, March 9, 2009: Proposed paper to replicate is due.
March 30, 2009 by 2pm: A draft of your replication project is due. We want
6 things from your group. (1) A pdf of the article you are replicating.
(2) A *PDF *of the draft of your paper. This draft must include the names
(and email addresses) of your coauthors, your replication of the main
tables/figures in the paper you are replicating and a brief discussion of
how you intend to improve the existing analysis. (3) A file containing the
data you used to perform the replication. (4) A code book (or key) for the
data used in your replication. (5) A txt or r file containing all of the
code used in your replication (the code should be well commented so others
can easily follow along). (6) Anything else that may be required for
another group to successfully replicate your replication of the paper you
have selected. These 6 things should be emailed to me and Patrick by 2pm.
If the dataset is too large to email, please email all of the other
materials and bring a copy of the dataset on a CD to class.
March 31, 2009: By this date, your group will be assigned to replicate the
work of another student group. Patrick or I will send your group an email
with all of the necessary materials.
April 6, 2009 by 2pm: Your replication of another student groups'
replication is due. You should email me and Patrick as well as all of the
members of the student group whose work you replicated a *pdf* memo pointing
out ways to make their paper and analysis better. You will be evaluated
based on how helpful, not how destructive, you are.
May 4, 2009 by 5pm: The final version of your paper is due.
Good luck on your projects!
Best,
Miya
