Research data policy

The journal encourages authors to store the data gathered for the investigation in renowned repositories, both specific to the discipline and generalist. The goal of this policy is to promote scientific development and ensure that research can be validated, reproduced and analyzed by other studies. To achieve this it is necessary that all used data are available and with unrestricted access.

The chosen repository must be a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and open access repository. The register of repositories re3data can be consulted, taking into account that each repository has its own rules of deposit.

If the data has been stored in a repository it must be mentioned in the article, providing a description of the type of data, the name and URL of the repository, the identification code and the data of the license of use and distribution, under the heading 'Availability of stored data'.
