conbio-reporting-and-data-policy
Use when preparing the data-availability statement and the data/code archive for a Conservation Biology manuscript. The journal (Wiley/SCB) requires a data-availability statement for research/synthesis articles, encourages data sharing, and requires sensitive species data to be protected. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Reporting & Data Policy (conbio-reporting-and-data-policy) *Conservation Biology* needs a **data-availability statement** for research/synthesis articles. The journal-specific Wiley data-sharing tier is **Encourages**, so the operating standard for this pack is: archive shareable **data and code** in an appropriate repository (e.g., **Dryad**, Zenodo, Figshare, GenBank) with a **persistent identifier**, and document restrictions when data cannot be shared. Build the package as you go so acceptance does not stall. ## When to trigger - Writing the data-availability statement and assembling the archive - A manuscript is heading toward acceptance and you need the deposit ready - Data cannot be fully shared (sensitive species, privacy, legal/provider restrictions) - A Review or synthesis where the screened-study dataset should be shared ## What to prepare 1. **Data-availability statement.** A short statement in the manuscript saying where the data and code are (repository + DOI/identifier), or why they cannot be shared and how to obtain them. 2. **Repository deposit where sharing is possible.** Place shareable data and code in a recognized archive with a **persistent identifier** and

Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill conbio-reporting-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.
