Social scientists are awash with new data sources. Though data preprocessing and storage methods have developed considerably over the past few years, there is little agreement on what constitutes the best set of data validation practices in the social sciences. In this paper I provide five...

Detailed mapping based on the high-resolution grids, such as GEBCO, ETOPO1, GlobSed, EGM- 2008 is crucial for various domains of Earth sciences: geophysics, glaciology, Quaternary, sedimentology, geology, environmental science, geomorphology, etc. The study presented a GMT- based scripting...

We introduce seven foundational principles for creating a culture of constructive criticism in computational legal studies. Beginning by challenging the current perception of papers as the primary scholarly output, we call for a more comprehensive interpretation of publications. We then suggest...
