Individual skill
lang-data-and-transparency
Use when preparing the data, annotation, and reproducibility materials for a Language (LSA) manuscript — shared datasets and code, glossed corpora, sound files, and the ethics of working with language consultants and communities. Language values transparent, documented data; over-stating a mandated deposit is as wrong as hiding materials. Documents and shares; it does not run the analysis.

# Data & Transparency (lang-data-and-transparency)
*Language* increasingly treats **documented, checkable data and reproducible analysis** as a mark of
serious work: a reader should be able to see the pattern and, where quantitative, re-run the model. But
the requirements differ by subfield and evolve, and linguistic data carry **ethical obligations** to
consultants and communities that generic "open data" rhetoric ignores. This skill helps you document,
share, and protect your materials appropriately — without over-stating a deposit mandate the journal
may not impose.
## When to trigger
- Assembling the data/code/annotation to accompany a submission
- Deciding what can and cannot be shared (consultant confidentiality, community agreements, licensed
corpora)
