ajs-data-and-transparency

separate

Use when handling data documentation, sharing, and confidentiality for an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) manuscript. AJS does NOT advertise a mandatory editor-verified replication package like APSR/AJPS; document thoroughly, share what you ethically can, and verify the current policy. Prepares documentation; it does not over-state requirements.

When to use

• Preparing data documentation and supplementary materials
• Deciding what can be shared given confidentiality, IRB, or proprietary constraints
• Documenting comparative-historical or ethnographic evidence
• Handling data sharing and confidentiality for AJS manuscripts

When not to use

• Asserting a mandatory editor-verified replication package requirement
• Over-stating AJS policy as a mandatory verified replication deposit
• Promising open data that IRB or confidentiality will not allow
• Submitting elsewhere while under AJS review
