jde-replication-and-data-policy
Use when assembling the data and code deposit for a Journal of Development Economics (JDE) submission or accepted paper — JDE's mandatory replication policy, Mendeley Data hosting, and the fact that data/code can be requested at the review stage. Builds the package; it does not run the analysis.

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.
# Replication & Data Policy (jde-replication-and-data-policy) ## When to trigger - A paper is heading toward submission or acceptance and the replication package is not built - You are unsure what JDE requires and when - Some data are proprietary/restricted (government microdata, partner-NGO data) and you need a compliant path - You want to pre-empt a referee asking for data and code during review ## JDE's policy (what it actually requires) JDE operates a **mandatory replication policy**. The journal will, in general, publish a paper **only if the data used are clearly and precisely documented and readily available to any researcher for replication**. Authors of accepted papers containing **empirical, simulation, or experimental** work must provide, **prior to publication**, the data, programs, and other computational details sufficient to permit replication; these are posted on the JDE website **alongside the article**. JDE partners with **Mendeley Data** to host research data, displayed next to the article on ScienceDirect. Crucially, this is not only an acceptance-stage formality: **editors or referees may request the data, programs, and computational details at the review stage

What does the jde-replication-and-data-policy skill do?
Use when assembling the data and code deposit for a Journal of Development Economics (JDE) submission or accepted paper — JDE's mandatory replication policy, Mendeley Data hosting, and the fact that data/code can be requested at the review stage. Builds the package; it does not run the analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jde-replication-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.
