2013年8月，Ann玛丽·克拉克和Kathryn Sikkink出版了《信息效应和人权数据：人权信息增加的好消息对人权措施来说是坏消息吗？》。他们的文章探讨了与Cingranelli-Richards（CIRI）人权数据项目中的政府尊重身体完整权的指标以及身体完整条件的政治恐怖量表（PTS）指数相关的重要问题。他们使用了一组关于拉丁美洲的数据以及巴西和危地马拉的案例，提出了一个论点，即随着时间的推移，美国国务院关于人权实践的国家报告中的信息量不断增加，正如字数不断增加所证明的那样，这是导致政府尊重人权的分数随着时间的推移而下降的原因。
In August 2013, Ann Marie Clark and Kathryn Sikkink published “Information Effects and Human Rights Data: Is the Good News about Increased Human Rights Information Bad News for Human Rights Measures?” in this journal.1 Their article examines important issues related to indicators of government respect for physical integrity rights from the Cingranelli-Richards (CIRI) Human Rights Data Project as well as the Political Terror Scale (PTS) index of physical integrity conditions. Using a data set about Latin America and the case examples of Brazil and Guatemala, they make an argument that an increased amount of information over time in the US State Department Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, as evidenced by growing word counts, is responsible for a downward bias in scores indicating government respect for human rights over time.2
