Data Sharing Policy

Where necessary, we encourage authors to share data to support the publication of Research and to interlink data with their published articles. “Research data” refers to the results of observations or experiments that confirm research findings, including but not limited to raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols, models, methods, and other related materials.

 1: We require that the data generated by your research that supports your article be made openly and publicly available upon publication of your article. 

2:  We strongly encourage that data generated by your research that supports your article be made available as soon as possible, wherever legally and ethically possible. We require data from clinical trials to be made available upon reasonable request. We require that a data sharing plan must be included with trial registration for clinical trials that begin enrolling participants on or after 1st January 2019. Changes to the plan must be noted in the Data Availability Statement and updated in the registry record (to comply with ICMJE recommendations)
