agsy-reproducibility-and-data-policy
Use when preparing the data, code, and model materials for an Agricultural Systems (AgSy) manuscript. AgSy applies Elsevier's research-data policy, which treats software, code, and models as research data — deposit them in a repository and cite/link them, or state why they cannot be shared. Covers model-description standards and exemptions. Prepares the materials; it does not waive requirements.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Reproducibility & Data Policy (agsy-reproducibility-and-data-policy) AgSy is a modelling journal, so reproducibility is not just about data — it is about whether someone else could **re-run or re-implement your model**. Elsevier's research-data policy explicitly counts **software, code, models, algorithms, protocols, and methods** as research data. Build the package as you go so submission and revision do not stall. The 2026-06-20 Guide for Authors refresh says Agricultural Systems applies **Option C**: deposit research data, cite and link it, or state why sharing is not possible. ## When to trigger - Building the data + code + model materials for submission - Writing the data-availability statement - Data, code, or the model cannot be fully shared (licence, privacy, proprietary model) and you need the exemption path - Preparing model documentation so reviewers can assess reproducibility ## What AgSy / Elsevier expects 1. **Deposit research data in a repository.** Use a recognized repository (Mendeley Data, Zenodo, OSF, or a domain repository), **cite and link** the dataset in the article. Not a personal website. 2. **Code and models count as data.** Deposit run scripts, paramete

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill agsy-reproducibility-and-data-policy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
