Lesson 15 of 18
You have completed a project and are considering different options for publication.
Select three different journals from your field and investigate whether they have data deposit or data sharing policies. Alternatively, investigate the examples given below.
Publishers often put their requirements and recommendations in their author guidelines or in their editing and publishing policies. Examples include the data policies of the following journals: Autism (a SAGE journal), Journal of Open Archaeology Data, and Bioinformatics.
Consider:
- Where did you find their policies?
- How do their policies differ?
- How do their policies demonstrate commitment to good research data management?
- If you were targeting one of these journals for publication, how might it affect your planning and practice?
