SPQ Data and Transparency Guide
Formulates compliant data-sharing postures, documentation strategies, and ethics statements for Social Psychology Quarterly manuscript submissions.
The SPQ Data and Transparency skill guides researchers in navigating Social Psychology Quarterly's specific transparency expectations and the American Sociological Association (ASA) data-sharing norms. Unlike journals with strict open-data mandates, SPQ encourages sharing data, code, and materials without penalizing non-sharing, particularly acknowledging confidentiality constraints in qualitative, ethnographic, or sensitive survey research. This skill helps authors draft honest data availability statements, organize reproducible quantitative scripts, structure qualitative analytic transparency, and protect participant confidentiality in alignment with ASA ethical standards.
