Data sharing policies are a list of guidelines that govern the sharing of content related to published papers with us. Being an open access journal, we encourage making data sharable, discoverable and citable as an intellectual property of the author of the article.
The manuscript data comprises of any information collected, observed, and researched to validate the published findings which may be numerical data, visual data, descriptive data, interview data, spreadsheets, quantitative and qualitative information.
Data sharing with our open access journal is guided by one of the following mentioned methods;
Encouraging Data Sharing
Authors are encouraged to share their research information and content in a selected repository. A statement either confirming the presence or absence of shared data must be included in the manuscript along with the link to access the said data. Shared data must be cited in the research paper.
Mandates Data Sharing
The sharing of the data validating a research and information of the research is made a conditional requirement for publication in a public repository. A data availability statement must be included in the manuscript along with the link to the repository and cite the data being shared. Exceptions to data sharing may be applicable to information to comply with the ethical or legal requirements (eg: any identification information of a human subject consented for the experimental research).
Peer review of this data is a pre-requisite to confirm the correctness, quality and authenticity of the data being shared. Some of the checks the reviewer conducts include completeness of data, proper labelling of the data, presence of appropriate meta data of the information being shared.
Swift, Reliable, and studious. We aim to cherish the world by publishing precise knowledge.
