Data availability statements

Guidance for authors and editors

An article鈥檚 data availability statement lets a reader know where and how to access data that support the results and analysis. It may include links to publicly accessible datasets that were analysed or generated during the study, descriptions of what data are available and/or information on how to access data that is not publicly available.

The data availability statement is a valuable link between a paper鈥檚 results and the supporting evidence. 国产乱伦鈥檚 data policy is based on transparency, requiring these statements in original research articles across our journals.

The guidance below offers advice on how to create a data availability statement, along with examples from different research areas.

Data availability statements support research data

What should a data availability statement include?

Your data availability statement should describe how the data supporting the results reported in your paper can be accessed. 

  • If your data are in a repository, include hyperlinks and persistent identifiers (e.g. DOI or accession number) for the data where available.  
  • If your data cannot be shared openly, for example to protect study participant privacy, then this should be explained. 
  • Include both original data generated in your research and any secondary data reuse that supports your results and analyses.

Read our detailed guidance on how to .

Citing data sources

You should cite any publicly available data on which the conclusions of the paper rely. This includes novel data shared alongside the publication and any secondary data sources. 

Data citations should include a persistent identifier (such as a DOI), should be included in the reference list using the minimum information recommended by DataCite (Dataset Creator, Dataset Title, Publisher [repository], Publication Year, Identifier [e.g. DOI, Handle or ARK]) and follow journal style.
