The Data and Code Availability Standard (DCAS) is a standard for sharing research code and data, endorsed by leading journals in social sciences. See https://datacodestandard.org/ for more information.
SSDE also provides a template README incorporating best practices at social science journals, derived from reviewing over 2,500 replication packages.
The most recent version is available at https://social-science-data-editors.github.io/template_README/.

We provide guidance to authors who wish to create replication packages.
Various useful pieces of information, such as terms of use for various data sources, repositories that may not be known as “trusted” in a formal sense, but which are robust enought to satisfy data editors’ needs, and other information.
We have a Slack channel for data and reproducibility editors. A more active working group meets monthly on Zoom, and maintains these resources.
