This section includes additional datasets based on the ATOP data.
ATOP S-Scores:
This dataset contains four measures of foreign policy similarity covering 1815-2018 computed with ATOP data. The measures include weighted s-scores, unweighted s-scores, Scott's π, and Cohen's к.


We ask users of the dataset to cite the following article:
Chiba, Daina, Jesse C. Johnson, and Brett Ashley Leeds. 2015. "Careful Commitments: Democratic States and Alliance Design." Journal of Politics 77 (4): 968-982.

Also, users should cite Signorino and Ritter (1999) if they use S scores, and cite Hage (2011) if they use Scott's π or Cohen's к.
