Data and Code

Effective April 3, 2023, all manuscripts that receive an “accept pending uploads” decision must follow the new data and code policy, which is identical to the old policy except for two additions. The data editor will review all code and data packets to ensure that the packets are complete. In those cases in which the actual data cannot be disclosed, a pseudo data set must be provided. Articles will not be accepted outright until the data editor approves them. Articles that have received an “accept pending uploads” decision before April 3, 2023, must comply with the old data and code policies. Articles that were initially submitted before July 1, 2021, are exempt.
