Use when preparing the Data Availability Statement and replication materials for a Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript. Governance requires the statement (mandatory) and encourages sharing data/code in a DOI-citable repository, but does not run a verified pre-publication reproduction check like APSR. Builds the statement and materials; it does not waive requirements.

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

*Governance* requires a **Data Availability Statement** with the manuscript — a statement of whether
replication materials (data, code) exist and how a reader can access them. Be clear-eyed about the bar:
the **statement is mandatory**, and sharing in a DOI-citable repository is recommended and increasingly
expected, but *Governance* does **not** run a verified, editor-checked pre-publication reproduction gate
the way APSR's Dataverse workflow does. That makes the statement an honesty-and-access commitment, not a
reproduction certificate — so write it precisely and build the materials as you go.

## When to trigger

- Writing the **Data Availability Statement** for submission (it is required at submission)
- Building the replication package (data, code, documentation) to back that statement
- Data cannot be fully shared (privacy, ethics, legal/provider restrictions) and you need the
