Reporting Standards and Data Accessibility: Researchers must not manipulate their data and ensure any data,custom codes, protocols are transparent and available to others. Further, they must provide a clear and complete description of the experimental or analytical methods,facilitating future replication and exploration. This openness not only gives credibility to the findings but also generates collaboration within the scientific community.
Authors must include a data and/or code availability statement in their manuscripts, specifying how and where they can be accessed and any associated restrictions. Whenever possible, data should be deposited in publicly accessible databases, and codes should be deposited in repositories that provide digital object identifiers (DOI), as it ensures proper citation and accessibility Any limitations on data access should be clearly disclosed, along with the reasons for such restrictions.
Sharing Materials and Code: Researchers are also required to make unique materials, such as biological samples, chemical compounds, and custom-developed tools, available to others upon request. This sharing should be done promptly and without undue restrictions, enabling the scientific community to build upon the published work.
