Project

Three simple rules before your submission

1.

Before you submit a paper to any of those open-access journals, create a DATASET first. You will generate a DOI to "properly cite data availability in the ACCEPTED paper". Such data will be made available exactly after the editor accepts your submission, following the review process. Please do not forget to create a preprint (it is a necessity according to this research project). Be careful with those Open-Peer-Review journals and whether the preprint is possible in a journal.

PREPRINT and SUBMISSION afterwards, both contain the following text:

Acknowledgement to editors:

"An earlier version of our work has been published online as a preprint via the Research Square platform with DOI: ...PasteYourByZENODO".

Data availability (PREPRINT + submited DRAFT:

"Open data that includes code to reproduce this research, following these FAIR principles, will be available in the final version of the study via the Zenodo repository."

2.

One README file (simple .txt format) that introduces your dataset (including a short description of the research paper, data, screens, graphs, tables, etc.) is essential to publish your record when it is appropriate (after the paper is accepted for publication).

3.

IMPORTANT: immediate open access must be provided to your data as well as the deposited publication via this repository, under the latest available version of the Creative Commons Attribution International Public Licence (CC BY) or a licence with equivalent rights; for monographs and other long-text formats, the licence may exclude commercial uses and derivative works (e.g. CC BY-NC while collaborating with companies). However, do NOT use CC BY-NC-ND. Beneficiaries (or authors) must retain sufficient intellectual property rights to comply with the open access requirements. Otherwise, the Open Science policy focuses on the Data Management Plan (DMP).
