Brill
Brill supports research data sharing but does not mandate it. Authors who wish to share data and other supplementary material items that cannot be included in an article or a book are offered the possibility to publish these through Figshare repository free of charge.
Cambridge University Press
Cambridge University Press encourages their authors to include a Data Availability Statement in their manuscript, to cite any datasets used in their research alongside literature and other references, and, when possible, to share data and other materials in an appropriate repository.
Elsevier
Data sharing is not mandatory. However, Elsevier encourages researchers to share research data, where appropriate, as early as possible.
Authors can deposit their research data in a repository of their choice. Elsevier has an in-house repository (Mendeley Data) and collaborates with over 60 domain-specific repositories.
F1000Research
All articles in F1000Research that report original results should include citations to repositories that host the data underlying the results, together with details of any software used to process the results. Moreover, F1000Research endorses the FAIR Data Principles.
PLOS
Scientific articles published in PLOS journals have to be based on open access data. All data and their metadata which is used to support the findings of the research, presented in an article manuscript, have to be deposited in a public repository, unless the data are presented as a part of the article. Data Availability Statement must be submitted along with the article. The licence applied to the data must not be more restrictive than the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
Sage Publications
The majority of Sage journals adhere to one of the following three research data policy types:
(1) Authors are encouraged to share their research data in a relevant public data repository, to include a Data Availability Statement, and to cite the data in the article.
(2) Authors are required to share their research data in a relevant public data repository, to include a Data Availability Statement and to cite the data in the article. If there is a valid reason why the data cannot be shared, authors must indicate that data is available but not shared, and state the reason.
(3) Same as (2). Moreover, peer reviewers may be asked to peer review the research data prior to publication.
Science Journal Group
Science Journals require all data underlying the results in published papers to be publicly and immediately available. All data, programme code, and other methods must be appropriately cited using DOIs or other persistent identifiers. It is recommended to deposit the data in a permanent independent, and non-profit repository preferably that provides citable persistent identifiers.
Springer Nature
All original articles must include a data availability statement providing information on what data are available, where these data can be found, and any applicable access terms. Springer Nature strongly encourages that all datasets supporting the analysis and conclusions of the paper are made publicly available at the time of publication, unless sharing is impossible (e.g. due to personal data protection). Data should be deposited in publicly available repositories or provided within the manuscript or additional supporting files. For a number of data types (e.g. DNA sequences), submission to specific a community-endorsed, public repository is mandatory (Springer Nature provides a list of such data types and repositories). Peer reviewers are entitled to request access to underlying data (and code) when needed to perform their evaluation of a manuscript.
Taylor & Francis / Routledge
Routledge book authors are encouraged to make data available according to the FAIR Data Principles.
Taylor & Francis offer a suite of standardised data sharing policies:
(1) Data sharing is encouraged;
(2) Data must be made available upon reasonable request;
(3) Data must be made freely available, under the license of the author’s choice;
(4) Data must be made freely available, under a licence allowing re-use by any third party for any lawful purpose;
(5) Data must be made freely available, under a licence allowing re-use by any third party for any lawful purpose; additionally, data must comply with the FAIR Data Principles.
In all cases, authors should deposit data in a public repository and cite any datasets in the body of the article, with a corresponding reference in the reference list. Authors should provide a Data Availability Statement, detailing where data associated with a paper can be found and how they can be accessed.
Vilnius University Press
Vilnius University Press encourages authors to deposit data in a suitable repository or storage location for sharing and further use by others and describe where the data may be found. Furthermore, authors are expected to maintain accurate records of supporting evidence necessary to allow others to understand, verify and replicate new findings, and to supply or provide access to this supporting evidence, on reasonable request.
Wiley
Authors of articles are encouraged to share their research data including but not limited to raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols, methods and materials.
One of the following standardised data sharing policies is applied:
(1) Authors are encouraged to share the data and other artefacts supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. Authors may provide a Data Availability Statement, including a link to the repository and the persistent identifier assigned to the data.
(2) Authors are expected to archive the data supporting the results in the paper in an appropriate public repository. Authors are required to provide a Data Availability Statement to describe the availability or the absence of shared data. Whenever possible, the scripts and other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper should also be publicly archived.
(3) Archiving the data supporting the results in the paper in an appropriate public repository is a condition for publication. Authors are required to provide a Data Availability Statement, including a link to the repository they have used, and to cite the data they have shared. Whenever possible, the scripts and other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper should also be publicly archived.
(4) As (3). Moreover, peer review of empirical data will be conducted to confirm the quality of the shared data.
