1. Policy Basis
- By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree to share the data and the materials that support it with other researchers upon reasonable request.
- The authors decide whether a request is reasonable. They consider the purpose of the request and the protection of the participants.
- This policy does not limit the rights of the editors. Authors must provide their data to the editors during the review process, and after publication when a concern about integrity is examined under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
- Authors should keep their data for a reasonable period after publication.
2. Data Availability Statement
A Data Availability Statement is required for every research article. The article template has no separate section for it, so the statement is placed in the Acknowledgements section, together with the funding statement and the competing interests statement. The statement must say the following.
| No. | The statement says |
|---|---|
| 1 | Whether the supporting data and materials are available. |
| 2 | Where and how they can be obtained, for example from a repository with a persistent identifier, in supplementary files, or from the corresponding author. |
| 3 | If the data cannot be shared, the reason, such as the protection of participants, the conditions of consent, or restrictions of an organization or of a data provider. |
Examples of wording
Available on request. The anonymized data set that supports the findings of this study is available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
Deposited in a repository. The data set and the questionnaire that were used in this study are available in [name of repository] at [DOI or persistent link].
Not available. The recordings and the transcripts of the interviews cannot be shared, because the participants did not consent to their release and could be identified. The interview guide is provided as supplementary material.
Data from a third party. The data were obtained from [name of source] under a license that does not allow redistribution. They can be obtained from the source by those who have access to it. The processed data and the code that was used for the analysis are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
Included in the article. All data that support the findings of this study are presented in the article.
These examples show the format only. A statement must describe the real situation of the manuscript.
3. Citing Data
- Authors must cite every data set that they used or referred to. This includes data that the authors created and deposited themselves, and data from third parties.
- Citations of data sets are added to the list of references in the format of the journal, as described in Manuscript Preparation, and they include a DOI or a persistent link when one exists.
- For data from external sources, such as national statistics, company reports, financial or market databases, or other existing databases, the authors name the source and describe the conditions of access.
4. Ethical Limits and Protection of Participants
- Data are shared only when it is ethically appropriate. Sharing is not required if it would violate the protection of human participants or raise concerns about ethics, privacy, or security.
- Authors must respect the consent that participants gave. For research in an organization, the permission of the organization must also cover how the data are used and shared. When minors take part, the permission of their parents or guardians must cover the use and the sharing of the data.
- Data about participants are handled confidentially. See Publication Ethics.
- Personal data of participants must never be uploaded to generative AI tools. See the Generative AI Policies.
| Type of data | How to handle it |
|---|---|
| Responses to questionnaires and surveys | Share the data in anonymized form. Remove names, employee or customer numbers, email addresses, and other direct identifiers. Check whether a small group, a rare characteristic, or a combination of company, department, position, age, and length of service could identify a person. |
| Interviews, focus groups, and recordings | These are usually not shared in full. Share anonymized excerpts, the coding scheme, or the interview guide instead. Recordings are shared only with the clear consent of the participants. |
| Research instruments | Questionnaires, scales, interview guides, observation sheets, and case protocols are encouraged as supplementary material, if the authors hold the right to publish them. See the section on third party material on the Licensing page. |
| Financial, market, and other secondary data | Name the source and describe how it can be accessed. If the license of a database does not allow redistribution, share the procedure for obtaining the data and the definitions of the variables instead of the data themselves. |
| Analysis scripts and software | Sharing is encouraged, so that others can check and repeat the analysis. |
| Data about companies and other organizations | Share the data only if the organization cannot be identified, or if it has agreed to be named and to the sharing of its data. |
5. Repositories and Licenses for Data
- Authors are encouraged to deposit data that can be shared in a trusted repository that assigns a persistent identifier, such as a DOI. Examples are Zenodo, the Open Science Framework, Figshare, Mendeley Data, and the repository of the institution of the author.
- Deposit in a repository is not mandatory under this policy.
- Authors should attach a clear license to the data that they deposit, so that the terms of reuse are known.
- The CC BY 4.0 license of the journal applies only to the published article. It does not automatically apply to data that are held elsewhere. See the Licensing page.
6. Information at Submission
| Data set | The authors state whether a data set is associated with the manuscript. |
|---|---|
| Identifier | If there is a data set, the authors give its DOI, a preregistered DOI, a hyperlink, or another persistent identifier. |
| Where to give the information | In the Comments for the Editor field of the submission form, and in the Data Availability Statement of the manuscript. |
| Preregistered DOI | Authors who give a preregistered DOI must be ready to provide the reviewer URL of the deposit when they are asked for it. |

7. Review and Responsibility
- Data sets are not formally peer reviewed. The authors are responsible for the soundness of their data, and errors in the data rest with those who produced them.
- Reviewers may ask for data or materials that they need for the evaluation.
- A significant error in the data that is found after publication is handled under the Correction and Retraction policy.
- A Data Availability Statement that is false, or data that are withheld without a legitimate reason when the editors ask for them, may be handled under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
