Use when building the replication package for an American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript. AJPS is famous for MANDATORY third-party PRE-publication verification — an independent verifier re-runs your deposited code and confirms it reproduces the numerical results in the main text before the article is published, with materials deposited to the AJPS Dataverse on Harvard Dataverse. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.

# Replication & Verification (ajps-replication-and-verification)

This is AJPS's signature differentiator. Unlike journals that check reproducibility in-house (or not at
all), **AJPS sends your deposited materials to an independent third party that actually re-runs the
code** and confirms it reproduces the numerical results reported in the **main text** — *before*
publication. If it does not reproduce, the article does not publish until it does. Build the package as
you analyze (`ajps-data-analysis`); it cannot be improvised at acceptance.

## When to trigger

- Building the replication / verification package
- A manuscript is accepted and you have received upload instructions (after final draft, during the
  technical check, before copyediting)
- Data cannot be fully shared (privacy, ethics, provider restriction) and you need a path
