Use when handling research ethics, consent, community accountability, and data/transparency for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — informed consent, anonymization, protection of vulnerable interlocutors, heritage and repatriation obligations, and what (and what NOT) to share, plus the Wenner-Gren copyright assignment. At CA this is an ethics-and-accountability skill; protecting people can override sharing data. Plans the ethics and transparency; it does not grant waivers.

# Ethics, Consent & Accountability (curranthro-transparency-and-data)

At CA, "transparency" is not primarily a reproducibility package — it is **research ethics and
accountability** toward the people and communities anthropologists work with. The single most important
rule: **protecting people can override sharing data.** Because Major Articles receive the **CA✩
Treatment**, an unresolved ethics problem will be exposed to international, signed Comment — design
ethics in from the start (run this skill early *and* before submission). CA also requires **assignment of
copyright to the Wenner-Gren Foundation** for major articles, reports, forums, discussion items, and
commentaries — factor that into any data/material reuse plan.

## When to trigger

- Planning consent, anonymization, and accountability into a project (do this **early**)
- Working with vulnerable, criminalized, Indigenous, or displaced communities
