Research Data Policy

The journal encourages authors to deposit data supporting their research findings in public repositories whenever possible and applicable, such as the Science Data Bank (https://www.scidb.cn/c/j00269). General-purpose repositories for all types of research data, such as figshare and Dryad, may also be used. Datasets assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) by a data repository can be cited in the reference list. Data citations should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite: author, title, publisher (repository name), and identifier.
