Data, Code & Materials Availability (sci-data)

When to trigger

• There is no data-availability statement, or it says "available on request".
• Sequences/structures/datasets are not deposited or have no accession numbers.
• Custom analysis code is not in a public repository.
• Unique reagents/strains/cell lines have no sharing plan.

Science's standard (the bar)

Science requires that all data and methods needed to evaluate and reproduce the conclusions be available at publication. "Available upon request" is not sufficient for primary data underlying the results.

Deposit in approved repositories (with accessions)
