Correlates of War Project

COW seeks to facilitate the collection, dissemination, and use of accurate and reliable quantitative data in international relations. Key principles of the project include a commitment to standard scientific principles of replication, data reliability, documentation, review, and the transparency of data collection procedures. More specifically, we are committed to the free public release of data sets to the research community, to release data in a timely manner after data collection is completed, to provide version numbers for data set and replication tracking, to provide appropriate dataset documentation, and to attempt to update, document, and distribute follow-on versions of datasets where possible. We intend to use our website as the center of our data distribution efforts, to serve as central site for collection of possible error information and questions, to provide a forum for interaction with users of Correlates of War data, and as a way for the international relations community to contribute to the continuing development of the project.

COW项目旨在促进国际关系领域精准可靠的定量数据的收集、传播与利用。项目秉持的核心原则包括坚持科学复制的标准原则、数据可靠性、文档化、审查以及数据收集流程的透明度。具体而言，我们致力于向研究界免费公开数据集，确保在数据收集完成后及时发布数据，为数据集提供版本号以实现复现追踪，提供适当的数据集文档，并在可能的情况下尝试更新、文档化和分发数据集的后续版本。我们计划将我们的网站作为数据分发活动的中心，作为收集潜在错误信息和问题的中心站点，为Correlates of War数据的用户提供一个互动平台，并作为国际关系界贡献于项目持续发展的途径。
