I have been on the editorial boards of many different journals for more than 10 years and attempting to publish in journals for much longer. That experience has made me question the editorial process and consider how to improve academic publishing. In July of 2021, I became editor of Economic Inquiry (EI) and was in a position to implement new journal policies. One of the first policies that I began working on was a data availability policy. I, of course, borrowed liberally from other journals as there were many good models out there to borrow from. When the policy was finalized, we chose to fund a repository on openICPSR for both journals operated by the Western Economic Association International (Contemporary Economic Policy being the other journal) and establish a policy that requires all papers published by EI that include data to publish a data archive on that or a suitable alternative site. I had many discussions along the way to arrive at that policy and here I will explain some of the considerations that helped me to make the final choice.
