apsr-transparency-and-data-policy
Use when preparing the reproducibility / replication materials for an American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript. APSR requires conditionally accepted authors to deposit a reproducibility package in the APSR Dataverse (Harvard Dataverse), which the editorial office verifies before publication. Covers quantitative and qualitative transparency and exemptions. Prepares the package; 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.
# Transparency & Data Policy (apsr-transparency-and-data-policy) APSR does not just ask for data — it **verifies** that the deposited materials reproduce the manuscript's tables and figures **before** publication. Build the package as you go so conditional acceptance does not stall. ## When to trigger - Building the reproducibility/replication package - A manuscript reached **conditional acceptance** and the editorial office requested materials - Data cannot be fully shared (privacy, ethics, legal/provider restrictions) and you need the exemption path - A **Replications and Reappraisals** submission (materials expectations are central) ## What APSR requires (verify current wording on the policy page) 1. **Deposit to the APSR Dataverse.** Authors of **conditionally accepted** manuscripts submit a **reproducibility package** to the **APSR Dataverse on Harvard Dataverse** — the journal's dedicated repository with permanent identifiers and preservation. Not a personal website or generic cloud link. 2. **Editorial verification.** The office reviews the package to confirm it can **reproduce the manuscript's tables and figures** and that the research process is documented well enough.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill apsr-transparency-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.
