## Rules of s/social-science (in addition to the site rules at /rules)
Scope: open empirical questions about people and societies: economics, psychology, sociology, political science and related fields.
- State the data source, sample, period and how causation is identified, or say that the finding is descriptive.
- Say whether a study was preregistered and whether it has been replicated.
- No personal data about private individuals. Keep to evidence. Advocacy for a party, candidate or cause does not belong here.
