The article reviews and summarizes current reproduction and replication practices in political science. It reviews data availability policies for 28 leading political science journals (analysis conducted in early June 2023). Four journals have dedicated data/replication editors: Journal of Politics, Political Analysis, Political Communication, Political Science Research and Methods, and Quarterly Journal of Political Science. The American Journal of Political Science has a verification process by the Odum Institute. Only one journal (Comparative Politics) has no information on data or codes. Six journals encourage sharing of data/codes and 21 mandate it. The article presents survey results from editors about their willingness to publish comments and replications. It makes three recommendations: (1) Create an award for best replication/extension study (2) Create an outlet dedicated to replications backed by a large disciplinary professional association (3) Recommend more political science journals start using data editors to improve computational reproducibility.
