amanthro-transparency-and-data
Use when handling research ethics, consent, community accountability, and data/transparency for an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript — informed consent, anonymization, protection of vulnerable interlocutors, heritage and repatriation obligations, and what (and what NOT) to share. At AA this is an ethics-and-accountability skill grounded in the AAA ethics principles and an ethics of care. Plans the ethics and transparency; it does not grant waivers.

# Ethics, Consent & Accountability (amanthro-transparency-and-data)
At AA, "transparency" is not primarily a reproducibility package — it is **research ethics and
accountability**. The AAA's *Principles of Professional Responsibility* (do no harm; obtain informed
consent; be open and honest; weigh competing obligations to people, communities, scholarship, and the
profession) govern the work, and AA practices an explicit **ethics of care** in its editorial process.
The single most important rule: **protecting people can override sharing data.** Design ethics in from
the start (run this skill early *and* before submission).
## When to trigger
- Planning consent, anonymization, and accountability into a project (do this **early**)
- Working with vulnerable, criminalized, Indigenous, or displaced communities
- Handling human remains, sacred objects, genetic/biological samples, or cultural heritage
