wp-transparency-and-data-policy
Use when preparing replication / transparency materials for a World Politics manuscript. World Politics requires authors who rely on quantitative data to deposit replication materials in the World Politics Dataverse after acceptance and before publication, with an explanatory file that lets others replicate the exact numerical results; embargoes up to two years may be approved by the editorial committee. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.

# Transparency & Data Policy (wp-transparency-and-data-policy) World Politics has a **Dataverse archive**, and **authors who rely on quantitative data must deposit** their materials there **after a piece is accepted but prior to publication**. The deposited file must let others **replicate the exact numerical results**. Build the package as you go so acceptance does not stall. ## When to trigger - Building the replication package for a quantitative or mixed-method paper - A manuscript has been **accepted** and you must deposit before publication - Original/proprietary data require an **embargo** and you need the approval path - Documenting qualitative/comparative-historical sources for transparency ## What World Politics requires (verify current wording on the policy page) 1. **Deposit to the World Politics Dataverse.** After acceptance and **before publication**, authors relying on quantitative data place materials in this trusted digital repository — not a personal site or generic cloud link. 2. **What to include.** The original data; specialized computer programs; lists of program recodes; extracts of existing data files; and — most importantly — an **explanatory file (README)**

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.
