However there are genuine unanswered questions about how reproducible historians work is. Take a look at some of the cases in <em><a href="http://hnn.us/articles/9229.html" rel="nofollow">Historians in Trouble</a></em>. Historians often work with resources which the only have limited time with, briefly spending time in archives on other sides of the world. We do not really know what the baseline error is in historical works. Of the 1000 footnotes how many on average are incorrect? David - This is exactly the point of Zotero commons. Adding your materials to the commons will be as simple as dragging a copy of a photograph of a article or rare print article into the commons drop box and viola you have a unique, permanent URL for your historical source.

Historians often deal with the way-back past. Exciting but what about primary sources that are archival or rare print? Historians often deal with the way-back past.

I love the phrase "radical transparency", but you could as easily call it reproducibility, something that has always been expected and demanded in the hard sciences. Opening up the archives and making footnote tracing easier is going to make reproducibility (more) possible for the humanities and social sciences, and bravo to that.
