We wish to thank Alessandro Benati, César Félix-Brasdefer, Andrew Cohen, Tracey Derwing, Timothy Face, Jette Hansen Edwards, Maria Hasler-Barker, Matthew Kanwit, Pascale Leclercq, Fanny Meunier, Eric Mélac, Guillermo Montero Melis, Maria Elena Placencia, Ehsan Rassaei, Alvaro Villegas, Anne-José Villeneuve, and Yucel Yilmaz for their valuable feedback on the work presented in this volume. We also thank the authors of the chapters included in this volume. In inviting them to provide critical reflections on different aspects of data, we were asking them to write about their area of expertise in a somewhat different manner. We thank them for their openness to discussions about their individual contributions and our vision for the volume.
