curranthro-transparency-and-data
Use when handling research ethics, consent, community accountability, and data/transparency for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — informed consent, anonymization, protection of vulnerable interlocutors, heritage and repatriation obligations, and what (and what NOT) to share, plus the Wenner-Gren copyright assignment. At CA this is an ethics-and-accountability skill; protecting people can override sharing data. Plans the ethics and transparency; it does not grant waivers.

# Ethics, Consent & Accountability (curranthro-transparency-and-data) At CA, "transparency" is not primarily a reproducibility package — it is **research ethics and accountability** toward the people and communities anthropologists work with. The single most important rule: **protecting people can override sharing data.** Because Major Articles receive the **CA✩ Treatment**, an unresolved ethics problem will be exposed to international, signed Comment — design ethics in from the start (run this skill early *and* before submission). CA also requires **assignment of copyright to the Wenner-Gren Foundation** for major articles, reports, forums, discussion items, and commentaries — factor that into any data/material reuse plan. ## When to trigger - Planning consent, anonymization, and accountability into a project (do this **early**) - Working with vulnerable, criminalized, Indigenous, or displaced communities - Handling human remains, sacred objects, genetic/biological samples, or cultural heritage - Deciding what materials, transcripts, images, or data can — and cannot — be shared - Preparing the manuscript's ethics statement and handling the Wenner-Gren copyright assignment ## Ethic

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