Use when assembling the data and code deposit for a Journal of Development Economics (JDE) submission or accepted paper — JDE's mandatory replication policy, Mendeley Data hosting, and the fact that data/code can be requested at the review stage. Builds the package; it does not run the analysis.

# Replication & Data Policy (jde-replication-and-data-policy)

## When to trigger

- A paper is heading toward submission or acceptance and the replication package is not built
- You are unsure what JDE requires and when
- Some data are proprietary/restricted (government microdata, partner-NGO data) and you need a compliant path
- You want to pre-empt a referee asking for data and code during review

## JDE's policy (what it actually requires)

JDE operates a **mandatory replication policy**. The journal will, in general, publish a paper **only if the data used are clearly and precisely documented and readily available to any researcher for replication**. Authors of accepted papers containing **empirical, simulation, or experimental** work must provide, **prior to publication**, the data, programs, and other computational details sufficient to permit replication; these are posted on the JDE website **alongside the article**. JDE partners with **Mendeley Data** to host research data, displayed next to the article on ScienceDirect.

Crucially, this is not only an acceptance-stage formality: **editors or referees may request the data, programs, and computational details at the review stage**. So the package must be submission-ready, not assembled after acceptance.
