Journal Data Policy for Depositing & Sharing Paper Related Data (Template)

Based on long-term research and practice, our team proposed a Journal Data Policy Template for Depositing & Sharing Paper Related Data, and it is a general data policy framework for different journals. According to the different intensities of sharing related data of papers, this policy framework divides into five levels, with the intensity decreasing from level 1 to level 5. According to the actual situation of each journal, the editorial department of the journal could select the corresponding strength level of the data policy, and then select the content of the policy text contained in this level. The V2 version of the data policy has revised the problems and optimized the first version. The V3 version has updated the data policy grading table. The V4 version has optimized the data policy grading table, partial expression and provided bilingual data policy templates in Chinese and English. The V5 version has added new features such as data peer review and data identifiers, and updated the data policy classification table.
