Data Sharing and Reproducibility
We strongly advocate for the principles of open access within academia and motivate our authors to promote transparency and accessibility of the data associated with their research. The availability of such data enables other researchers to comprehensively understand, validate, and reproduce the findings, thereby reinforcing the credibility and impact of the original research.
Whenever feasible, we also encourage our authors to deposit their data in suitable repositories, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among academics. Regardless, it is imperative that authors ensure the accessibility of the data to competent professionals for a minimum duration of ten years following publication. This accessibility should ideally be facilitated through an institutional or subject-specific data repository or another reputable data center. It is important to note that data release should be carried out in a manner that protects the confidentiality of participants and does not infringe upon any legal rights associated with proprietary data.
