Data Sharing and Reproducibility Policy

Journal of Advanced Computing and Digital Information Systems (JACDIS) is committed to promoting research transparency, integrity, and reproducibility. This policy follows the relevant principles and guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) concerning data sharing and research reproducibility.

1. Data Availability: Authors are encouraged to make research data, source code, analytical scripts, and other research materials supporting the findings available whenever possible. Each article must include a Data Availability Statement indicating whether the underlying data and materials are available.

2. Data Availability Statement: The statement should specify whether the research data and materials are available, where they can be accessed, and any applicable conditions or restrictions.

3. Restrictions on Data Access: Data do not have to be publicly shared when ethical, legal, privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property, data-use agreement, or other legitimate restrictions apply. In such cases, authors must explain the reason for the restriction and, where possible, describe how access may be obtained.

4. Reproducibility: Authors should provide sufficient methodological information to allow their research to be understood, verified, and, where feasible, reproduced by other researchers. For computational research, this may include source code, datasets, software and version information, parameters, and analytical procedures.

5. Data Verification and Integrity: Editors may request relevant data, source code, or research materials to assist in verifying reported findings. Where serious concerns arise regarding the authenticity, integrity, or reliability of research data, JACDIS may conduct an appropriate assessment and take editorial action in accordance with its publication ethics policies and relevant COPE guidance.

6. JACDIS Policy Statement on Data Sharing and Reproducibility: JACDIS supports responsible sharing of research data and materials to promote transparency and reproducibility while respecting applicable ethical, legal, privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property requirements.
