# Replication & Data Policy (jeg-replication-and-data-policy)

## When to trigger

- The paper uses empirical growth data, historical data, simulations, or calibration code
- You need a Data Availability Statement for Springer Nature
- Data are public, proprietary, restricted, or author-constructed

## Policy stance

JEG follows Springer Nature research-data policy: original research articles need
a Data Availability Statement. A journal-specific mandatory data editor or code
archive was not confirmed in the source map, but reproducible materials are still
expected for credible growth work.

## Package checklist

- Data README with sources, access dates, licenses, and restrictions.
- Code pipeline that regenerates tables and figures.
- Calibration file listing parameter values and sources.
- Public repository or DOI for shareable data/code when allowed.
- Restricted-data instructions and contact/access procedure when data cannot be
  redistributed.
