The “commandments” of long-term social science research arose from our discussions at a Coordinating Committee meeting of the LTER network, and were sharpened through the contributions of Steve Carpenter, Ted Gragson, Craig Harris, Tim Kratz, Pete Nowak, and Chris Vanderpool, and by discussions with Diane Hope, Mark Hostetler, Kimberly Knowles-Yanez, and Nancy McIntyre.
