govern-data-analysis

Use when executing and reporting the analysis for a Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript — cross-national inference, clustering and uncertainty, robustness, multi-method triangulation, measurement validity for governance indices, small-N comparative samples, and sensitivity to unobserved confounders. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

# Data Analysis (govern-data-analysis)

*Governance* reviewers are comparative-method sophisticated and the journal requires a **Data
Availability Statement** describing whether and how replication materials can be accessed. Analyze as if
a competent reader will follow your inference across countries — because they will. This skill covers
execution and reporting norms; design decisions live in `govern-research-design`.

## When to trigger

- Running main and supporting analyses; building the results section
- A reviewer asked for robustness, heterogeneity, or alternative specifications
- Reconciling pre-specified vs. exploratory analyses (an anonymized pre-analysis plan may be supplied)
- Making the analysis reproducible before drafting the Data Availability Statement
