World Politics has a **Dataverse archive**, and **authors who rely on quantitative data must deposit**
World Politics has a Dataverse archive, and authors who rely on quantitative data must deposit their materials there after a piece is accepted but prior to publication. The deposited file must let others replicate the exact numerical results. Build the package as you go so acceptance does not stall.
wp-review-process).renv.lock / requirements.txt / recorded installs)The deposit is checked against the published numbers, so the failures here are about reproducibility and provenance rather than design.
| Objection at deposit/replication | The fix this skill drives |
|---|---|
| "Code doesn't reproduce the published table" | One master script that regenerates every exhibit; match numbers exactly |
| "Stochastic step won't replicate" | Set and report seeds for bootstrap, randomization, sampling |
| "Provenance unclear" | README documenting sources, construction, recodes, and replication steps |
| "Proprietary data can't be shared" | Request an editorial-committee-approved embargo (up to two years) before publication |
| "Qualitative claims unauditable" | Evidence tables / active citation; access-controlled repository where sensitivity requires |
A hypothetical accepted paper on trade agreements and democratic backsliding stages its package:
Master script: make.R → regenerates Tables 1–4 + Figures 1–3 from /raw and /derived
Seeds: set.seed(20260601) before the bootstrap in model 3
Versions: renv.lock pins R 4.x + 18 packages
Provenance: README maps V-Dem v14 + DESTA to each constructed variable
Embargo: one proprietary firm-survey extract → 2-year embargo, committee approval requested
Check: a clean-machine run reproduces every published number before deposit
The clean-machine run is the gate; "works on my machine" is not deposit-ready. (The Dataverse, embargo, and timing rules are policy that can change — confirm against the current data-policy page.)
