Abstract: The motivation for this editorial arose from an episode experienced by two of the authors. During a thesis defense, when questioned by a faculty member about the instrument used in her research, a student described how difficult it had been to locate it. What began as a simple search for an instrument widely cited in the literature turned into a true “academic odyssey.” Several articles that relied on the instrument did not present it in full—only a few illustrative items. The seminal study that originally proposed the instrument was written in a language other than English. Attempts to contact the researcher who authored the scale went unanswered. At every step, a new labyrinth emerged in the effort to locate the complete instrument. Along with it grew the feeling that something essential to scientific practice remained inaccessible.
