From Zinsser’s On Writing Well.

“Keep thinking and rewriting until you say what you want to say.”

CarlisleRainey,

I’d add one small thing: there’s a period for me during rewriting process when I’m figuring out what I’m trying to say, not just how to say it.

How data-sharing habits have changed in political science since 1995.

These data show a massive shift in norms, requirements, and infrastructure, but also how much room we have to improve.

CarlisleRainey,

@koen_hufkens Good question! I suspect this is due mostly (maybe “almost entirely”) to changes in journal policies. Theres likely a generational gap too, but I’d guess that’s much smaller.

🎄🎁 New Preprint! 🎁🎄

Here's a new one with Harley Roe, Qing Wang, and Nick Dietrich. In this paper, we discuss some potential problems with using events data to measure dissent, offer a potential solution, and have an easier-to-use dataset.

CarlisleRainey,

The data set is easy to get from Dataverse if you want to try it out. https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CL4CA8

CarlisleRainey,

We have a little website with all the details that we hope makes everything super transparent and allows others to borrow and build on our strategy and ideas. https://www.carlislerainey.com/dissent-scores/

CarlisleRainey,

Here's a simple example that we discuss in more detail in the paper.

New version of "Estimators for Topic-Sampling Designs."

We emphasize and recommend hierarchical models, but this version describes better standard errors for the design-based estimates of the typical treatment effect.

Here's something cool. MS Word can summarize a paper in potentially helpful ways. I'm curious how this latest paper of mine compares to others. What does your latest paper look like?

Tools > Spelling and Grammar > Editor. Then click "Document stats."
