The Journal of Modern Medical Science (JMMS) encourages authors to share the data underlying their published research whenever possible. Data sharing promotes transparency, reproducibility, and scientific collaboration while increasing the reliability and impact of published findings.
Authors are encouraged to make the datasets supporting their research available through recognized public repositories or institutional databases. If data cannot be publicly shared due to ethical, legal, or privacy restrictions, authors should clearly explain the reasons in the manuscript.
Authors should:
Provide a Data Availability Statement in every manuscript.
Share research data in trusted public or institutional repositories whenever possible.
Ensure that shared data are accurate, complete, and properly documented.
Protect confidential and personal information before sharing datasets.
Provide repository links or dataset identifiers where applicable.
Sharing research data offers several advantages, including:
Promotes transparency and research integrity.
Supports verification and reproducibility of results.
Encourages scientific collaboration and innovation.
Increases the visibility and impact of published research.
Facilitates future studies and evidence-based decision-making.
The editorial office encourages authors to comply with international best practices for data sharing. Editors and reviewers may request access to supporting data during the peer-review process if necessary to verify the findings. Any restrictions on data availability should be clearly justified by the authors.
By encouraging responsible data sharing, the journal strengthens the credibility, transparency, and reproducibility of scientific research while supporting the global advancement of medical knowledge and open science.
