Biomedical Journal Data Sharing Policies

Raw data of data sharing policies in over 300 journals, supporting the article currently under review: "Reproducible and reusable research: Are journal data sharing policies meeting the mark?". Raw data and analysis of data sharing policies of 318 biomedical journals. The study authors manually reviewed the author instructions and editorial policies to analyze the each journal's data sharing requirements and characteristics. The data sharing policies were ranked using a rubric to determine if data sharing was required, recommended, or not addressed at all. The data sharing method and licensing recommendations were examined, as well any mention of reproducibility or similar concepts. The data was analyzed for patterns relating to publishing volume, Journal Impact Factor, and the publishing model (open access or subscription) of each journal. We evaluated journals included in Thomson Reuter’s InCites 2013 Journal Citations Reports (JCR) classified within the following World of Science schema categories: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Cell Biology, Crystallography, Developmental Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Immunology, Medical Informatics, Microbiology, Microscopy, Multidisciplinary Sciences, and Neurosciences. These categories were selected to capture the journals publishing the majority of peer-reviewed biomedical research. The original data pull included 1,166 journals, collectively publishing 213,449 articles. We filtered this list to the journals in the top quartiles by impact factor (IF) or number of articles published 2013. Additionally, the list was manually reviewed to exclude short report and review journals, and titles determined to be outside the fields of basic medical science or clinical research. The final study set included 318 journals, which published 130,330 articles in 2013. The study set represented 27% of the original Journal Citation Report list and 61% of the original citable articles. Prior to our analysis, the 2014 Journal Citations Reports was released. After our initial analyses and first preprint submission, the 2015 Journal Citations Reports was released. While we did not use the 2014 or 2015 data to amend the journals in the study set, we did employ data from all three reports in our analyses. In our data pull from JCR, we included the journal title, International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), the total citable items for 2013, 2014, and 2015, the total citations to the journal for 2013/14/15, the impact factors for 2013/14/15, and the publisher.

本数据集包含300余种期刊的数据共享政策原始数据，用于支持当前处于审稿阶段的论文《可复现与可复用研究：期刊的数据共享政策是否达标？》。本数据集涵盖318种生物医学期刊的数据共享政策原始数据与分析结果。本研究的作者通过手动审阅期刊的作者指南与编辑政策，分析各期刊的数据共享要求与特征。研究采用评分量表对各期刊的数据共享政策进行分级，以判定其数据共享要求为强制、推荐或完全未提及。同时调研了数据共享方式与许可政策建议，以及是否提及可复现性或类似概念。研究针对各期刊的发文量、期刊影响因子（Journal Impact Factor, JIF）以及出版模式（开放获取或订阅制）开展了模式分析。本研究的评估对象来自汤森路透（Thomson Reuter）的InCites 2013年期刊引证报告（Journal Citation Reports, JCR）收录的期刊，且属于以下科学世界分类体系（World of Science schema）范畴：生物化学与分子生物学、生物学、细胞生物学、晶体学、发育生物学、生物医学工程、免疫学、医学信息学、微生物学、显微学、多学科科学以及神经科学。选取上述分类是为了覆盖绝大多数经过同行评议的生物医学研究期刊。初始数据集共收录1166种期刊，合计发文213449篇。研究通过筛选，保留了2013年影响因子（Impact Factor, IF）或发文量处于前四分之一区间的期刊。此外，研究团队通过人工审阅排除了短篇报道类期刊、综述类期刊，以及被判定不属于基础医学或临床研究领域的期刊。最终纳入本研究的期刊共318种，2013年合计发文130330篇。该研究样本占初始期刊引证报告收录期刊总数的27%，占初始可引文章总数的61%。在本研究开展分析前，2014年版期刊引证报告正式发布；在完成初始分析并首次提交预印本后，2015年版期刊引证报告正式发布。尽管未使用2014年与2015年的数据对研究样本中的期刊进行调整，但本研究在分析过程中采用了三份报告的相关数据。本次从期刊引证报告中提取的数据包括期刊名称、国际标准连续出版物编号（International Standard Serial Number, ISSN）、2013、2014、2015年的总可引文献量、2013/2014/2015年的期刊总被引频次、2013/2014/2015年的影响因子以及出版方信息。
