Joint Data Archiving Policy (JDAP)

•  Data are important products of the scientific enterprise, and they should be preserved and usable for decades in the future.

•  As a condition for publication, data supporting the results in the article should be deposited in an appropriate public archive.

•  Authors may elect to embargo access to the data for a period up to a year after publication.

•  Exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the editor, especially for sensitive information.

•  Adopted in 2011

Community Reactions

“…But how has it been received by the community? On the whole the requirement for data archiving has been seen as a good thing, with academics understanding and supporting the objectives of data preservation and accessibility. Submissions to our journals continue to

grow, so the policy certainly has not deterred people from seeing them as attractive places to publish their work. It has also enhanced the Society’s reputation as

a progressive publisher.”

Norman, Hazel, Learned Publishing, Volume 27, Number 5, 1 September 2014, pp. 35-38(4)
