OPA Open Materials

From the Open Policy Analysis Guidelines:

• Label and document each input, including data, research, and guesswork: see contents of documents.

• Standardize the file structure so that materials are organized in a way that is accessible to an informed reader: see below folder documentation.

• Ensure that code/spreadsheets are reproducible.

• All research and innovation team members use version control software and track changes in a shared project repository. It is clear who contributed to the research, when, and who approved or rejected the contribution.
