Open Data

In line with consolidating Open Science processes, it is recommended that authors, when appropriate, share the primary research data as well as other materials underlying the manuscript text that contributed to the article in certified repositories.

The goal is to facilitate the evaluation of the manuscript and, if approved, to contribute to the preservation and reuse of data and information, as well as to the replicability of the study.

For sharing, authors can use their institution’s repository and identify relevant and certified repositories from the SciELO list of repositories for research data deposit.

Alternatively, the author(s) can declare that the data will be made available upon direct request to the author(s) or that all data are contained and discussed in the article.

The repository where the data and information are located, if applicable, should be cited in the text according to the Guidelines for Research Data Citation, preferably in the methodological section, included in the reference list, and in the “Data Availability” section.
