According to the website:
IGBP is an international scientific research programme built on interdisciplinarity, networking and integration. It addresses scientific questions where an international approach is the best or the only way to provide an answer. We add value to a large number of individual, national and regional research projects through integrating activities to achieve enhanced scientific understanding.
In our E&E article, we referred to the fact that the American Economic Review (AER) has adopted a policy for requiring authors to archive source code and data at the time of submission. These policies are online and worth looking at in detail. Continue reading
