GitHub: A Tool for Social Data Set Development and Verification in the Cloud [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
In this brief article I show that GitHub offers a comprehensive data storage service for social scientists creating and using original data sets. It has unique tools for social data set development and accuracy verification. Furthermore, GitHub fits directly into an active research workflow, particularly one that also includes R.
