TL;DR: In this paper, a position statement on reproducible research in linguistics, including data citation and attribution, represents the collective views of some 41 colleagues, who believe that reproducibility can play a key role in increasing verification and accountability in linguistic research and is a hallmark of social science research that is currently underrepresented in our field.

TL;DR: The history of practices, theories, and trends in archiving for the purposes of language documentation and endangered language conservation are surveyed and conversations have arisen toward participatory models for archiving, which break traditional boundaries to expand the audiences and uses for archives while involving speaker communities directly in the archival process.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed 50 dissertations and 50 grammars from a ten-year span (2003-2012) to assess the current state of the field of descriptive linguistics and suggested benchmarks for the kind of information needed for creating a rich and useful research methodology in both long and short format descriptive research writing.

TL;DR: The project to increase the discoverability and accessibility of the Pacific-language materials in the Pacific Collection at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Hamilton Library by improving and making consistent the descriptive metadata in the catalog is described.

TL;DR: A study of over 370 journal articles, dissertations, and grammars taken as a sample of current practices in the field of linguistics finds examples of transparent reporting, but most of the surveyed research does not include key metadata, methodological information, or citations that are resolvable to the data on which the analyses are based.
