I am trying to improve my LaTeX/TikZ skills, so I am re-creating on request scientific article diagrams. The first is here that I've made for a friend of mine: Original diagram (Note this diagram is copyright(c) Academy of Management; used here in a Fair Use fashion): TikZ diagram: The LaTeX code and instructions can be found at github .

Often (read ' the-rule-rather-than-the-exception '), the data is not properly managed and archived, and resides as a single copy on the researcher's desktop or maybe research server. In addition, the metadata is minimal or non-existent, and if it does exist is only interpretable by the researcher and their colleagues or students. Over time, the chance that this data will be lost or useful knowledge about it forgotten by the researcher increases, and the information content of the data and metadata rapidly decreases. Some events can seriously accelerate this decrease: data loss (media failure, computer replacement, other serious accidents or failures, etc); change of care...
