Organise data, code, documentation and supplementary materials related to a paper and publish them on an open science platform to obtain a citable link or DOI.
Separate raw data, cleaned data, analysis scripts, results tables and documentation.
Do not upload data containing private or sensitive information.
Describe the data contents, field meanings, software versions, how to run the code and how to cite it.
Whether others can reuse your data depends mainly on how clear the README is.
Choose an open platform according to journal requirements and data type.
If you need a DOI, Zenodo or Dataverse are good first choices.
Choose a licence such as CC BY, CC0, MIT or GPL according to your sharing needs.
Data, code and text materials can use different licences.
Add the data link, DOI and access date to the paper's data availability statement.
Before submission, make sure the link is public or accessible to reviewers.
