Open Data Policy

The journal supports the principles of open science and encourages authors to ensure the availability of research data used in the preparation of scholarly articles in accordance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

Research data are understood as materials used in the course of the study that may be required to verify, clarify, or reproduce the scholarly conclusions, including archival documents, statistical materials, text corpora, databases, illustrative materials, and other sources.

Authors must provide in the article information on the availability of the research data underlying the published results.

If research data are made publicly available, they should be deposited in an institutional, national, and/or international research data repository in accordance with the FAIR principles. The number of datasets and their persistent identifiers (DOI) should be indicated in the metadata of the article.

If open access to the research data is not possible due to legal, ethical, archival, or other justified restrictions, the authors must provide a reasoned explanation of the limitations on data availability.
