About
The ReplicationCommons license was developed by the epidemiologist and policy scientist, Jonathan Betz Brown, MPP, PhD, as a way to perpetuate the scientific norms of honesty, sharing, documentation, and the ability to replicate in environments where these behaviors are not enforced by funders and publishers. The ReplicationCommons license allows scientists, policy analysts, journalists, advocates, and others to share their work but also to require others who take advantage of their generosity to share, as well.
