| Feb 18, 2015 at 16:11 | comment | added | Joe | Yes, ideally you'd contact the creators of the data to ensure that you were using it correctly ... but for some larger, well documented datasets (eg, MODIS, Hubble), trying to run everything through the PIs would cause a major bottleneck in puplishing. | |
| Feb 18, 2015 at 15:33 | comment | added | gerrit | @Joe I would say it depends on how much the owners of the dataset are involved. In the case I had in mind, they would be actively involved in the discussion of why the different datasets are different. Presumably, the creators have a better understanding of why that may be than anybody else. | |
| Feb 18, 2015 at 3:57 | comment | added | Joe | The dataset example is one of the arguments for data citation vs. co-authorship. Especially for cases where you're acknowledging use of someone's data, but they might not agree with your conclusions ... or they might've passed away years ago. | |
