Data Sharing Policy

SvedbergOpen is dedicated to creating a more transparent research environment that will speed up and improve the effectiveness of research discoveries by allowing data, methodology, and reporting requirements to be verified and repeated. Sharing research data, including but not limited to raw, processed, software, algorithms, protocols, procedures, and materials, is something we strongly urge authors of articles published in our journals to do.

Promotes Data Sharing

The journal invites authors to save their data and other artefacts in a suitable public repository in order to share them with others and support the findings in their research. To enable this declaration to be published in their publication, authors may submit a data availability statement that includes a link to the repository they used. Data that is shared must be cited. If shared data is there, all accepted publications have the option to submit a data availability statement attesting to that fact. For authors who have made their data available, this will include a persistent identifier (such as an accession number or DOI) from the repository where the data was shared, along with information on how to access the data.

Anticipates Data Sharing

The journal anticipates that the data used to support the findings in the paper will be saved in a suitable public repository. In order to clarify whether shared data is available or not, authors must include a data availability statement. In case data are shared, writers must cite the shared data and provide a link to the repository in their data availability statement. The scripts and other artefacts that were utilized to produce the analyses that are given in the study should be made available to the public whenever feasible. Data sharing by writers is not expected if it violates legal restrictions or ethical norms.

Requires Data Sharing

The data supporting the findings in the manuscript must be archived in a suitable public repository, following the journal's requirements for publication. In addition to citing the data they offer, authors must include a data availability statement with a link to the repository they used. The scripts and other artefacts that were utilized to produce the analyses that are given in the study should be made available to the public whenever feasible. At the editor's discretion, an exception might be made if disclosing data jeopardizes human privacy, ethical principles, or legal requirements, for example. Authors are not obligated to provide data if they are unable to do so (for instance, if doing so would violate legal or ethical restrictions).

Requires Peer Review and Data Sharing

The data supporting the findings in the manuscript must undergo peer review and be preserved in a suitable public repository in order for the journal to publish it. In addition to citing the data they offer, authors must include a data availability statement with a link to the repository they used. The scripts and other artefacts that were utilized to produce the analyses that are given in the study should be made available to the public whenever feasible. The editor reserves the right to make exceptions. Writers are not compelled to divulge data if doing so would violate moral principles or legal laws.

And:

To verify the quality of the shared empirical data—such as sample sizes matching, the presence of the variables mentioned in the article as fields in the data repository, data completeness, proper labelling and description, and metadata relevant to the type of data being shared—peer review will be done on the collected empirical data.

Or:

To ensure that the empirical data replicates the analytical conclusions described in the study, peer review will be carried out on the data.
