This is a case study paper -- it's not intended, or possible to, 'replicate'. Trust in the authors is particularly important here and given what we know about industry sponsored or conducted research in general & for AI in particular, healthy skepticism is warranted

Looks like the NSF funding for APSA's DDRIG is through 2026, so one more round apsanet.org/programs/doc...

Doesn't make it much better, but APSA took over the polisci DDRIG (w NSF finding) in 2020 and it looks like they'll have at least one more funding round in 2026: apsanet.org/programs/doc...

ASA and APSA run their own DDRIG competition with NSF funding. I'd guess they might be OK for a bit longer? @elizabethbitmeehan.com do you know anything about this?

I'm convinced something went wrong w the survey. The numbers are too even and... Baltimore? Nothing against the place but no way it makes 1/6 "I want to live there" lists

It's quite limited as an LMS so YMMV. You can't really use it for submitting work, obv, discussion features are poor, etc. It works really well for this particular purpose though

We moved a large summer institute from distributing lit via Blackboard to Zotero & that was very popular (also w the GA in charge of uploading...).
I also just interviewed an undergrad RA & she mentioned having used Z in several classes, so this doesn't seem unusual

How far back do you go? At the risk of being purged, I thought his blogging as a grad student ~2008/2009 was quite good and I don't remember seeing much of a sign of things to come.

We published this excellent piece in @apsrjournal.bsky.social last December & it references related lit published in most major journals. Do you mean American Politics? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

But what does being on YT mean? Id imagine the share interacting much w original content creators is much smaller, more in the Tiktok ballpark

There's nothing special -- Zotero embeds all the metadata for the citations in the document itself, so you can just copy the sections authored by author B into the document authored by author A.
As @evangelinewarren.com notes, the same work cited by both authors will show up twice in bib.
November 23, 2025 at 4:07 PM
So to confirm, yes you can. What's a little awkward is that you can't update the metadata of the citations your co-author added in Zotero (e.g. to fix typo in title) or vice versa.
That's why working in a joint group is better if you remember to do so from the start
