Data Sharing Policy

Vallensis Publishing is committed to open science and research reproducibility. Authors must include a Data Availability Statement in all research articles, specifying what data are available, where they are deposited (with a persistent identifier/DOI), and any restrictions on access with the reason.

Recommended repositories

• Zenodo (zenodo.org) — generalist, free, CERN-operated
• Figshare (figshare.com)
• OSF (osf.io)
• Domain-specific repositories (GEO, dbSNP, PDB, ChEMBL, ClinicalTrials.gov)
• GitHub/GitLab with a Zenodo DOI

Where data cannot be shared due to patient privacy, legal constraints, or commercial confidentiality, authors must state this clearly and provide the maximum feasible transparency (summary statistics, synthetic data, analysis code).
