The Global Journal of Dental Specialty (GJDS) encourages authors to share the research data, materials, and supporting information underlying their published work to promote transparency, reproducibility, and scientific collaboration. The journal supports the principles recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding responsible data sharing.
Authors are encouraged to deposit research datasets in recognized public or institutional repositories and include a Data Availability Statement indicating where the data can be accessed. Where public sharing is not possible due to ethical, legal, privacy, or confidentiality restrictions, authors should clearly explain the limitations within the manuscript.
Editors may request access to supporting data during the peer-review or editorial process to verify the reported findings. By encouraging responsible data sharing, the journal aims to enhance the credibility, reproducibility, and long-term value of published research while respecting participant privacy and applicable legal requirements.
