Guides spatial data documentation, geoprivacy compliance, reproducibility workflows, and data-availability statements for AAAG manuscripts.

AAAG Spatial Data Transparency & Ethics helps researchers prepare rigorous data documentation, reproducibility packages, and research ethics statements aligned with Annals of the American Association of Geographers (Taylor & Francis) publication standards. It delivers actionable guidance on logging spatial-data provenance (coordinate reference systems, layers, and processing chains), enforcing geoprivacy and human-subjects protections via spatial masking, structuring reproducible analysis scripts, and drafting transparent data-availability statements without overstating editorial replication requirements.
