Data Availability Statement
By submitting a manuscript to our journal, authors are expected to make all resources described in the manuscript, including any relevant raw data, freely accessible to researchers for non-commercial purposes, without compromising participant privacy.
All datasets underlying the paper's conclusions should be made available to readers. Our journal requires data deposition in cases where sharing data is the accepted community standard. Authors are encouraged to include datasets either within the main manuscript, as supplementary machine-readable files (e.g., spreadsheets rather than PDFs), or via publicly accessible repositories where available.
Every submission must include a "Data Availability Statement" specifying where supporting information can be accessed. If certain data cannot be shared, authors must provide a justification in this section.
For post-publication data access, all relevant resources must remain openly and unrestrictedly available to researchers for non-commercial use, in accordance with the data availability statement. Authors are responsible for ensuring that such arrangements are in place.
Our journal expects datasets to be deposited in community-accepted repositories with permanent identifiers where data sharing is standard. The editorial team reserves the right to verify the availability of data and may contact institutions or funding bodies if the original data cannot be provided. Failure to supply the requested data may result in retraction of the published paper.
