Do I have to submit other files (e.g. data sets, transcripts or syntax) in addition to the paper?

For empirical studies, it is important that you submit your dataset as well as your paper.

For quantitative studies, you can attach the data as a Stata, Excel or CSV file. Please make sure that you submit the unmodified raw data set. In the paper, you should clearly describe the changes you have made to the data set (e.g. handling of missing values or speeders). You can also submit the corrected dataset. For datasets, you should always ensure that the variables are appropriately named. For larger datasets, it is also a good idea to save a list of variables for a more detailed description of the variables in another spreadsheet. Submitting a syntax file (e.g. Stata dofile or R code) is not mandatory, but may contribute to the comprehensibility of your analysis.


For qualitative studies, please include the transcripts (e.g. interview transcripts) either in the appendix of the paper or in a separate PDF file.
