Data Sharing Policy (Availability Statement)

Data Sharing Policy (Availability Statement)

When submitting their research articles to the Belitung Nursing Journal, authors are encouraged to deposit their research data as a supplementary file either during submission or in an appropriate data repository. Additionally, authors should cite and provide a link to this dataset in their article. If sharing research data is not feasible, authors are encouraged to include a statement explaining the reason behind it. Data sharing can be beneficial for authors as it helps them receive recognition for their work and makes their data easily accessible and discoverable to their peers.

Research data deposit, citation, and linking (or a Research Data Availability Statement)

  • Deposit your research data in a relevant data repository or the journal (BNJ) as a supplementary file.
  • Cite and link to this dataset in your article
  • (Or if this is not possible, make a statement explaining why research data cannot be shared)

Data availability statements commonly take one of the following forms:

  1. The datasets generated during and analyzed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS].
  2. The datasets generated during and analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
  3. All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this published article (and its supplementary information files).
  4. The datasets generated during and analyzed during the current study are not publicly available due to [REASON(S) WHY DATA ARE NOT PUBLIC] but are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
  5. Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analyzed during the current study.
  6. The data that support the findings of this study are available from [THIRD PARTY NAME], but restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for the current research, and so are not publicly available. Data are, however, available from the authors upon reasonable request and with permission of [THIRD PARTY NAME].

In the absence of specific instructions from the journal, authors can use or adapt the statement(s) above. In addition, several statements may need to be combined depending on the nature of the research.
