When submitting a manuscript, authors must provide a Data Availability Statement describing compliance with PLOS's policy. If the article is accepted for publication, the data availability statement will be published as part of the accepted article.
- Data Sharing Policies - Wiley (https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-access/data-sharing-citation/data-sharing-policy.html) - Wiley encourage authors of articles published in its journals to share their research data including, but not limited to: raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols, methods, materials. Various standardized data sharing policy categories are listed.
- Data Sharing Policies - Taylor & Francis (https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/understanding-our-data-sharing-policies/) - From 2018, Taylor & Francis introduced policies on data sharing. The basic data sharing policy, which applies across many of its journals, encourages authors to deposit data in a suitable repository, cite it, and include a data availability statement explaining where others can access the data. Check the Instructions for Authors for the journal to find out what data policy applies and check check if the funder has a policy.
