newms-transparency-and-data
Use when handling research ethics, transparency, and data sharing for a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript — consent and anonymization, the ethics of scraping and platform ToS, qualitative analytic transparency, and any quantitative data/code sharing. Prepares ethics and documentation; it does not over-state requirements.

# Research Ethics, Transparency & Data (newms-transparency-and-data) NM&S studies people through digital media, so **research ethics for online and platform data** is central, and **transparency** is calibrated to the method, not to a one-size mandate. NM&S follows SAGE/COPE publishing ethics and asks authors to handle ethics, consent, conflicts, funding, and data availability deliberately. The posture: clear ethics, anonymization that actually protects people, and documentation that lets a stranger judge your claims without overstating a replication requirement. ## When to trigger - Planning or reporting consent, anonymization, IRB/ethics approval - Scraping or using platform data and unsure about ToS, public/private, and consent - Documenting qualitative or computational work so the claims are credible - A reviewer asked how others could verify or build on your analysis, or flagged an ethics concern ## Research ethics for online/platform data (the NM&S core) - **Consent and the public/private blur.** "Publicly available" is not the same as "consented." Posts in a semi-private group, identifiable users, or vulnerable communities need a defensible ethics rationale, not just "it was

What does the newms-transparency-and-data skill do?
Use when handling research ethics, transparency, and data sharing for a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript — consent and anonymization, the ethics of scraping and platform ToS, qualitative analytic transparency, and any quantitative data/code sharing. Prepares ethics and documentation; it does not over-state requirements.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill newms-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.
