DATA SHARING

As we are committed to promoting transparency and the reusability of primary research data, we strongly encourage authors to share the primary data of their studies upon request, allowing other researchers to build further on the results. Such primary research data may include survey data collected through questionnaires or handwritten or printed notes. Primary data can be shared as long as it does not violate personal protection rights or any concerns related to privacy or security. This also includes sharing other developed methodologies, workflows, steps, and procedures followed in the research. While the author is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the data, any errors in the data lie solely with the producers of the dataset(s).

Researchers requesting such primary data must familiarize themselves with the policy on handling allegations of research misconduct before reusing any such data, to ensure responsible and ethical practices. This also includes:
