Your certification request requires three elements
The pdf of the research article in which we can find the tables and/or figure to certify.
The data and code used to produce these numerical results: these resources should be included within a single archive file (ZIP or RAR).
A readme file which includes a list of the files with a brief description of each, the list of packages and options required to run the codes, and the list of the variables considered.
Provide all the routines and subroutines required to reproduce your numerical results. The code should be documented, indented, and written so that someone familiar with another language could understand it. The code must be structured to make clear which parts of the output produce the results (table and/or figure) for which you ask for a certification. The main code that allows launching all the subroutines should be labelled as “main_code”. For more details, please download our guidelines.
Prepare your data for certification
Several data file format can be used. No particular restriction is imposed. A name and/or a label must be reported for each variable. When it is possible, we recommend providing the primary data from which the final dataset is derived and the code used to transform this initial dataset. Some descriptive statistics on the variables should be reported within the code in order to check if one has loaded the data correctly. For more details, please download our guidelines.
