ajs-data-analysis

separate

Use when planning or auditing the analysis of an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) manuscript so the evidence credibly supports the theoretical claim. Covers analysis norms, uncertainty, robustness, and triangulation across quantitative, comparative-historical, and ethnographic work. Improves the analysis chain; it does not fabricate results.

When to use

• Planning the analysis
• Auditing analysis before writing up
• Reconciling multiple methods or data sources
• Deciding confirmatory vs. exploratory analyses
• Stress-testing the analysis chain
• Triangulation of convergent evidence
• Handling referee pushback on evidence chain
• Executing analysis battery via StatsPAI or Stata MCP

When not to use

• Fabricating results
• Displaying technique without theoretical support
