Criminology research increasingly travels with its data and code. Expert reviewers and editors expect
Criminology research increasingly travels with its data and code. Expert reviewers and editors expect that your reported tables and figures could be reproduced. Wiley's general data-sharing guidance requires a Data Availability Statement for research- and synthesis-based articles, while the current Wiley ACT row for Criminology lists the journal-specific data-sharing policy field as No Policy. Treat that as: prepare a credible statement and package, but do not claim a journal-specific mandatory repository deposit unless the live portal requires it.
renv.lock / requirements.txt / recorded installs)Criminal-justice data is often restricted — juvenile records, agency systems, NACJD restricted-use files behind enclaves. The ASC/Wiley open-science direction still expects a credible reproducibility path, so the answer is rarely "cannot share." Match your situation to a tier.
| Data situation | Acceptable transparency move | What to deposit |
|---|---|---|
| Public file (e.g., NCVS, UCR/NIBRS extracts) | full open deposit | data + master script + README |
| NACJD restricted-use | exemption note + exact application path | code + synthetic/derived data + access steps |
| Agency / juvenile confidential records | DUA or confidentiality exemption + contact | code + simulated data matching schema |
The principle: even when raw data cannot travel, the code and a runnable substitute should. Confirm the final statement wording against the journal's current submission guidelines.
A study uses a state juvenile-justice extract that cannot be redistributed. The package ships a master script regenerating all 8 exhibits; a README documenting construction and the application process (agency contact, IRB requirement, ~12-week window, illustrative); a synthetic dataset matching the schema so reviewers can run the script; and seeds for the EM-based trajectory fit. The statement names the restriction, the legal basis, and the access route — not "available on request."
