Important Announcement: Enhancing Data Sharing for Manuscripts

Dear Authors and Researchers,

We are pleased to announce an important update to our manuscript submission process aimed at enhancing the transparency and reproducibility of research findings. Effective immediately, we are encouraging all authors to deposit the data related to their manuscripts in reputable data repositories or generalist repositories.

By archiving your data in dedicated repositories, you contribute to the wider research community's ability to access and validate your findings. These repositories provide a secure and standardized environment for data storage and ensure its long-term preservation. To assist you in identifying suitable repositories, we have provided a list of recommended options on our website.

If you have already deposited your data and obtained a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) before submitting your manuscript, we kindly request you to include the DOI in the manuscript text. This practice enables readers to easily access and reference your data, further bolstering the credibility of your research.

We understand the significance of this proactive approach to data sharing and its positive impact on scientific progress. By adopting this practice, you contribute to the advancement of transparency and reproducibility, promoting integrity within the research community.

Thank you for your continued support in fostering open and accessible science. Should you have any questions or require further guidance regarding data deposition and inclusion in your manuscript, please do not hesitate to reach out to our editorial team.

Sincerely,

Editorial Team
