AEA Data Editor

Data editor for the American Economic Association - for official guidance, always go to http://aeaweb.org and https://aeadataeditor.github.io. Does not follow persons (sorry)
A data citation covers most of those (name, title, link), does not cover the disclaimer, but honestly, that seems a bit obscure. The piece so often missing is the ack that it is, actually, under CC-BY, and that that license is "sticky". I would be happy for just that.

That's not the kind of precision that the @creativecommons.bsky.social folks say: creativecommons.org/licenses/by/...
That being said, I was (for rhetorical reasons) simplifying somewhat. But I would be happy if folks would actually do that one thing, bc generally, they do none of that....

Luckily, just about any repository out there hosting replication packages (and other data) provide you with a
SIMPLE
way to do that: Copy the citation... (or use your citation manager, e.g. @zotero.org to store the DOI). #datacitation #openscience

None of this is a guarantee that we truly learn the identity of a firm. There are many (plausible, legitimate, legal) reasons why the identify of a data source may not be available to even the editors, and yet warrant publication. It's a balance.

Summer is approaching, and so are various conferences. As so often, I target being available at various conferences, including presenting and answering questions. Here is a list of places and times in the next two months.

Our policy is already too long to cover all possible scenarios, I am told (repeatedly...), but it is very clear "access to the data and code is nonexclusive to the authors" in line 1 ... www.aeaweb.org/journals/dat... Need an exception? See line 3, and a discussion w/ editor + me ensues.

That, or something similar, under a formal NDA, is what I do several times a year.
