ajs-data-and-transparency
Use when handling data documentation, sharing, and confidentiality for an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) manuscript. AJS does NOT advertise a mandatory editor-verified replication package like APSR/AJPS; document thoroughly, share what you ethically can, and verify the current policy. Prepares documentation; it does not over-state requirements.

# Data & Transparency (ajs-data-and-transparency)
AJS's public author guidance is **less prescriptive** on mandatory replication than APSR or AJPS:
there is **no advertised editor-verified reproducibility deposit** comparable to a Dataverse
verification step. Do **not** assert a requirement that AJS does not state. The right posture is:
document thoroughly, share what you ethically can, protect informants, and **confirm the current
supplementary-materials / data-availability policy on the live AJS pages** before submission.
## When to trigger
- Preparing data documentation and any supplementary materials
- Deciding what can be shared given confidentiality, IRB, or proprietary constraints
- Documenting comparative-historical or ethnographic evidence so claims are checkable
- A reader asked how others could verify or build on the analysis
