Data Availability

Overview

Use this skill to turn manuscript-supporting data into a submission-ready availability package: statement text, repository plan, source-data mapping, and unresolved-risk flags.

This skill is narrower than submission-audit and more operational than scientific-writing. Use it when the bottleneck is no longer the paper's story, but whether the data-sharing package is specific, durable, and journal-ready.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• the manuscript needs a Data Availability statement
• accession numbers, DOIs, repository records, or source-data files are missing or unstable
• the paper mixes generated data, reused public data, and restricted data
• "available upon request" wording needs to be tightened or replaced
• a submission or revision needs data-sharing text that editors can audit quickly
