Research Data Policy

Informatica requires authors to deposit research data underlying the article in a trusted repository as early as feasible and, where possible, no later than publication of the article.

Research data and related metadata must be managed in accordance with the FAIR principles and under the rule "as open as possible, as closed as necessary."

Authors should also make openly available, in a trusted repository, other research outputs needed to validate, reproduce, or reuse the reported results, including where relevant software, source code, models, workflows, protocols, corpora, benchmarks, and supplementary materials.

Where legal, ethical, privacy, security, contractual, or intellectual-property restrictions prevent full open sharing, authors must:
• explain the restriction in the manuscript;
• provide openly accessible metadata at minimum; and
• state how and under what conditions access may be obtained, where possible.

If personal data are involved, data must be processed lawfully and protected appropriately, including anonymisation or pseudonymisation and restricted access where required.

Authors must include a Data Availability Statement in the manuscript. Where relevant, authors should also include a Code Availability Statement.

Research data and other research outputs cited or used in the article, including datasets, software, code, models, corpora, benchmarks, and protocols, must be included in the reference list at the end of the article.

References to datasets and other research outputs must include a persistent identifier wherever available, such as a DOI, Handle, accession number, or other PID.
