FAIRsharing record for: American Chemical Society Research Data Policy Level 2

This FAIRsharing record describes: Where ethically and legally feasible, all ACS journals strongly encourage authors to make the research data underlying their articles publicly available at the time of publication. For the purposes of this policy, research data is defined as materials and information used in the experiments that enable the validation of the conclusions drawn in the article. This includes primary data produced by the authors for the study being reported, secondary data reused or analyzed by the authors for the study, and any other materials necessary to reproduce or replicate the results. The ACS data policy is deployed at one of four levels, and this record describes the Level 2 Data Policy requirements. Each ACS journal will independently determine the level of policy required that reflects the needs of their specific communities.
