Data Management & Sharing Policy Overview
Research Data Deposit Policies
This journal recommends that authors deposit the data obtained from the research carried out for the preparation of their article in repositories of recognized prestige, both specific to the discipline and generalists. The objective of this policy is to promote scientific development and ensure that research can be validated, replicated, and analyzed for other studies. To achieve this, it is necessary that all the data used be available and without access restrictions.
The repository chosen must be a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) repository and open access. You can consult the Registry of re3data research data repositories, taking into account that each repository has its own deposit rules.
Note in the article
The article must mention that the data has been deposited in a repository, providing a description of the type of data, the name and URL of the repository, the identifier code and the data of the use and distribution license. This information must appear at the end of the article, before the bibliographic list, under the heading 'Availability of deposited data'.
How to quote
The data must be cited correctly, following a specific citation format and must appear with the rest of the bibliographical references of the publication. This will apply to all data, both those collected by the author of the article and those used by other authorships. In this way, in addition to favoring the transparency of scientific research, it will be possible to recognize its authorship, provide usage metrics and data impact indicators. In addition to the complete bibliographic reference of the data, the citation must include the unique and permanent identifier of the repository where it is hosted.
When it is not possible or feasible for data to be openly available (due to confidentiality or sensitivity issues), it should be shared through a controlled access repository.
