From jbf-skills
Generates a JBF/Elsevier Option C replication package with data availability statement, code archive structure, and proprietary-data access documentation for banking/finance manuscripts.

JBF follows Elsevier Option C research-data instructions. At submission, authors must state data availability. For shareable data, deposit the research data in a relevant repository and cite/link it in the article. If data cannot be shared, state why (for example, proprietary, sensitive, confidential, or licensing limits). JBF does not operate a dedicated journal-run replication archive, so the practical package should combine a repository deposit where rights allow, code, metadata, and a precise access route for restricted inputs.

For licensed banking/finance sources, add a data_access/README.md that records:
| Typical JBF source | Redistribution | What the package carries instead |
|---|---|---|
| US Call Reports / FDIC SDI | public — share extracts | pull scripts with vintage, date, and series mnemonics |
| Orbis Bank Focus / BankScope legacy | licensed — do not share | query filters, consolidation codes, variable list, access date |
| DealScan | licensed — do not share | extraction steps, facility/package level, link-table code |
| CRSP / Compustat (when used) | licensed — do not share | WRDS query description and merge keys |
| Hand-collected regulatory events | usually shareable | coding manual, per-event sources, inter-coder checks |
| Confidential supervisory data | cannot leave the authority | aggregate descriptives plus the access route for replicators |
Data availability. Bank balance-sheet data come from US Call Reports (FFIEC,
public; pull scripts and vintages in /code/01). Loan-facility data are from
DealScan under license; we provide extraction filters and borrower link-table
code but not raw files. Hand-collected deregulation dates and coding rules are
deposited with the package. All tables and figures regenerate from run_all
with the licensed inputs in place; a synthetic sample exercises the full
pipeline without them.
run_all executes on a clean machine with only the licensed inputs mountedA package failing two or more boxes usually signals deeper pipeline debt; route back to jbf-data-analysis before drafting the statement.
