Both papers in this volume on which I was asked to comment (James E. Monogan III, "A Case for Registering Studies of Political Outcomes: An Application in the 2010 House Elections" and Macartan Humphreys, Raul Sanchez de la Sierra, and Peter van der Windt, "Fishing, Commitment, and Communication: A Proposal for Comprehensive Nonbinding Research Registration") advocate registration regimes for our discipline. The recommendations in both are incremental [promoting, as Lindblom (1965) might have said it, the "intelligence of research" and cognizant of the costs in scientific learning from such a regime if rigidly enforced. Moreover, both papers cite studies by Gerber and various co-authors (e.g., Gerber, Green, and Nickerson 2001) demonstrating publication bias in political science, incentivizing researchers to manipulate their regression models until they can show a z-statistic ≥ 1.96, and thereby reaching standard levels of significance. I fully accept that Gerber et al.'s papers have detected a serious flaw in our scientific practices; there is a problem to be solved. The Monogan and Humphreys et al. proposals are therefore worthy of consideration.

Die öffentliche Verwaltung befindet sich im stetigen Wandel. Will die Verwaltung zukunftsfähig und innovativ und den Herausforderungen der kommenden Jahren gewachsen sein, muss sie auf ständige Veränderungen reagieren, ihr Handeln danach ausrichten und ihre Entscheidungen entsprechend treffen. Vor diesem Hintergrund widmete sich die Jahrestagung 2013 der Deutschen Sektion des Internationalen Instituts für Verwaltungswissenschaften dem Thema "Change-Management als Steuerungsinstrument für Entwicklungs- und Veränderungsprozesse in der öffentlichen Verwaltung". Die dort präsentierten Ergebnisse werden in dem vorliegenden Band veröffentlicht
