Individual skill

spq-data-and-transparency

Use when preparing the data, materials, and transparency posture for a Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) manuscript. SPQ ENCOURAGES sharing data, code, and materials but does NOT require it, and willingness to share has no impact on acceptance; the journal follows the ASA data-sharing norm and Code of Ethics. Covers quantitative and qualitative/interpretive transparency and confidentiality. Prepares the posture; it does not invent requirements.

# Data & Transparency (spq-data-and-transparency)

SPQ's posture is deliberately different from open-data-mandate journals. It **encourages** researchers to
make data, code, and materials available, but **this is not a requirement**, and **willingness to publicly
release data and materials has no impact on the likelihood of acceptance**. The journal recognizes that not
all areas of social psychology — especially ethnographic and interview work — can share data practically
or ethically. Transparency at SPQ means clear documentation and honoring the **ASA data-sharing norm**,
not a verified replication gate.

## When to trigger

- Deciding what data/code/materials to share, and how to describe your transparency posture
- Confidential or sensitive data (fieldnotes, interview transcripts, restricted survey data)
- A reviewer asked about materials, measures, or replicability
