In Oliver Twist (1837), Dickens explains that Oliver's father had been "solemnly contracted" to marry Oliver's mother, but was already married to another woman. A "clanking bond," this marriage becomes a metaphorical slavery. In reality, legal thinkers turned to slavery law to litigate England's domestic future, drawing on cases that regulated enslaved people's movements to support changing marriage policies for metropolitan English families. By reading Oliver Twist in relation to these legal intimacies, we can see how the Victorian family was legitimated through its encounters with the recent history of British slavery and enslaved families excluded from English family law.

Political scientists should not expect a direct causal impact on the actions of politicians and policy makers. They are more likely to influence the climate of ideas, which in turn can shape public policy. In general, politicians and policy makers are hungry for ideas and want to see themselves at the forefront of new debates. In particular, they are interested in findings that they and their advisers cannot create for themselves. The techniques of advanced political science and debates within it are far from being arcane for they offer a new approach and provide robust evidence about politics and policy. Political scientists should not aim to be like journalists, commentators or advisers as they will usually perform less well than these talented practitioners. By communicating in conferences, tweeting, blogging and public speaking they will find that politicians and civil servants will come looking for them as well as the other way round. The article reviews studies of the diffusion of ideas and the ways in which ideas influence politicians and other policy makers, which back up an indirect approach to impact.

Over the last decade, scientific literature has given more attention to enterprise resource planning system in the accounting context. In that sense, the authors perform a systematic literature review in order to map and assess the intellectual territory based on scientific publications from 2000 to 2018, in ISI Web of Science and Scopus database. Based on grounded-theory methodology approach, they performed a content analysis to develop their ERP-Accounting information interface literature framework. The results confirm that it is a recent and growing field of study. Five main groups were identified as well as the main authors and journals, such as International Journal of Accounting Information Systems, Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management, Journal of Accounting and Organizational Change, Management Accounting Research, Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting, International Journal of Accounting and Information Management, and Industrial Management and Data Systems. Mainstream and interpretative research approach are the main paradigms when studying ERP and accounting information relationship. The authors also identified recent key areas that may indicate tendencies towards future studies and which allows researchers to strategically focus their research.

"Social science practitioners have recently witnessed numerous episodes of influential research that fell apart upon close scrutiny. These instances have spurred suspicions that other published results may contain errors or may at least be less robust than they appear. In response, an influential movement has emerged across the social sciences for greater research transparency, openness, and reproducibility. Transparent and Reproducible Social Science Research crystallizes the new insights, practices, and methods of this rising interdisciplinary field"--Provided by publisher
