International Relations Program to release open-access research - Tufts Daily - Tufts University

"The International Relations (IR) Program on Friday will launch an ongoing seminar discussing research conducted in Indonesia by faculty and students, making the data available for anyone at Tufts to study. This open-access and interdisciplinary research project allows any interested students and faculty, regardless of their department, to use the data for their own analysis, according to Director of the IR Program and Associate Professor of Economics Drusilla Brown.
