Journal of Biomedical Semantics

The Journal of Biomedical Semantics operates a mandatory research data sharing policy and as such requires that all datasets on which the conclusions of the paper rely be available to reviewers and readers. Authors must deposit their datasets in publicly available repositories prior to peer review, or include them as supplementary information files with their manuscript. The data will be assessed and reviewed as part of the journal’s standard peer-review process and, if necessary, revisions suggested.

Research data includes a wide range of types, including spreadsheets, images, textual extracts, archival documents, video or audio, interview notes or any specialist formats generated during research.

A list of data where deposition is required, with the appropriate repositories, can be found on the Editorial Policies Page.
