amanthro-data-analysis
separate
Use when executing and reporting the analysis/interpretation for an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript so it survives expert anonymous review — disciplined ethnographic/qualitative inference, honest interpretation, and (for biological/archaeological work) sound quantitative analysis. Guides analysis and interpretation norms; it does not fabricate evidence or quotations.
When to use
- Building the results/interpretation section from fieldnotes, transcripts, material, or measurements
- Addressing reviewer requests for more evidence, alternative readings, or robustness
- Reconciling what interlocutors say with what they do, or pre-planned vs. emergent themes
- Making the analysis transparent enough to be credible without exposing protected sources
- Executing and reporting analysis/interpretation norms for AA manuscripts
- Conducting sound quantitative analysis for biological/archaeological work
- Building an AA four-field evidence-and-care ledger
- Documenting mixed-methods or computational procedures
When not to use
- Fabricating evidence or quotations
- Design decisions (covered by amanthro-research-design)
- Transparency and data management specifics (covered by amanthro-transparency-and-data)
- Creating tables and figures (covered by amanthro-tables-figures)
