How to Create a Replication Bundle
Export data, code, tables, plots, and documentation for transparent research.
The Short Version
Export data, code, tables, plots, and documentation for transparent research. A practical way to begin is to open Results, then apply final exclusions. Finish by making sure you export the academic packet or study archive. The full walkthrough below explains each part in order.
Is This Guide for You?
Researchers preparing journal replication files or coauthor archives.
Follow These Steps
Work through these 6 steps at your own pace. The wording is intentionally practical, and you can return to the checklist at the end when you are ready to review your work.
- Open Results.
- Apply final exclusions.
- Export raw responses.
- Export analysis CSV.
- Export R or Stata scripts.
- Export the academic packet or study archive.
What This Helps You Accomplish
Replication bundles are easier when code, data, codebooks, and methods text are generated from the same saved design.
A Quick Confidence Check
- Keep raw and cleaned data separate.
- Include a README.
- Check that scripts run on exported file names.
- Store a copy outside the app.
Common Questions
Can I use this guide if I am new to this?
Yes. Researchers preparing journal replication files or coauthor archives. Follow the steps in order, start with a small test, and use the final checklist before you field or report anything important.
What is the simplest way to get started?
Begin by open Results. Next, apply final exclusions. You do not need to perfect every setting before running a small preview or pilot.
How do I know when I am ready?
Use the confidence check above. In particular: Keep raw and cleaned data separate. Include a README. Check that scripts run on exported file names. Store a copy outside the app. When the decision is consequential, keep your study documentation and ask a qualified colleague or methods reviewer to examine the design as well.
