Data Management and Sharing

In addition to requirements from funding agencies, many publishers and/or journals require that authors share the data or code that underlies the results from the published article. 

While this does not require a full data management plan, having a data management plan will help you understand and comply with the journal's data sharing policy.

• Publisher's data sharing requirements are often found in the editorial policies or instructions for authors
