American Sociological Review had replication packages for 20% of quant papers in 2023.

JTS truly being one of the best things about sociology! Presented in 2015, co-organized it in 2016 with Clayton Childress. Excellent experience.
I did this in 2009, and met a ton of ppl I still count as friends, while also publically launching my theoretical thinking on institutions. Totally invaluable and meaningful. #sociology
