Open Data Policy

The journal supports the principles of Open Science and encourages authors to share the raw data supporting their research findings.

Data Availability Statement: All manuscripts must include a section explaining where and how the data can be accessed. (Templates)

Methods of Data Sharing:

    • External Repositories: Authors are encouraged to use public repositories (e.g., Zenodo, Figshare, Dryad).
    • Data on Request: If data cannot be shared publicly (e.g., patient privacy), authors should state: "The data are available upon reasonable request."
    • Within the Manuscript: Data are included in the article or provided as Supplementary Materials.

Ethical Constraints: Data sharing must comply with ethical standards and participant confidentiality (all data must be anonymized).
