Other data publishing licenses may be permitted as exceptions (subject to approval by the editor on a case-by-case basis) and should be justified with a written statement from the author, which will be published with the article.
Open Data and Software Publishing and Sharing
The journal endeavors to ensure that the research it publishes is as replicable as possible. Authors must therefore disclose all data, code, and protocols underlying the research reported in their articles. Exceptions are permitted but must be justified in a public statement accompanying the article in writing. Datasets and software should be deposited and permanently archived in unsuitable, trusted, general, or domain-specific repositories (please refer to http://service.re3data.org and/or software repositories such as GitHub, GitLab, or equivalent). The persistent identifiers (e.g., DOI, or others) of the dataset(s) must be included in the article's data or software resources section. In addition to including references to datasets and software in the article's reference list, DOIs (if available) should also be included. Where there is no domain-specific repository for data, authors should deposit their datasets in a general repository such as ZENODO, Dryad, Dataverse, or others. Small data may also be published as data files or packages as a supplement to a research article; however, authors should always prefer a deposition in a data repository.
