Replication Policy. Authors of quantitative empirical articles must make their data and other relevant material available for replication purposes. Please note the firm JCR replication policy. The JCR will not publish any articles (in print or online) until the Editor has received all the necessary replication materials. Required material would include all data, specialized computer programs, program recodes, and an explanatory file describing what is included and how to reproduce the published results. This material must be posted by the month of publication. Information that must remain confidential--such as that which would identify survey respondents--should be removed. All files should be sent electronically to the Managing Editor at jcr.umd@gmail.com for posting alongside the electronic version of the article on the web site maintained by our publisher at http://jcr.sagepub.com/. In addition, authors may post their data files on their own websites or anywhere else they wish. Users of all data posted at the JCR SAGE web site will be expected to acknowledge the posting used.

Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences.

Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with SPi and makes no endorsement of the company. An author’s use of SPi’s services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and SPi, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
