Data Archiving Permissions
Transparent data practices that support reproducibility and responsible sharing.
Protect data integrity while enabling reuse
Journal of Tissue Repair and Regeneration (JTRR) encourages responsible data sharing to strengthen reproducibility and transparency.
Authors should deposit data in appropriate repositories and describe access conditions clearly.
Raw datasets
Primary measurements, sequencing outputs, or imaging datasets.
Processed data
Derived datasets used for analysis or figures.
Code and scripts
Analysis scripts or modeling code used in the study.
Protocols
Detailed experimental procedures and SOPs.
Materials lists
Reagent or biomaterial identifiers to enable replication.
Supplementary figures
Extended data visualizations or validation results.
Negative results
Relevant null findings that inform future research.
Calibration data
Calibration or validation files for devices and assays.
Discipline repositories
Use field specific repositories when available.
Institutional repositories
University repositories support long term preservation.
General repositories
Select a trusted general repository when no field option exists.
Clinical data platforms
Use secure platforms for clinical or patient sensitive data.
Embargo options
Embargoes may be used when justified by approvals or patents.
Persistent identifiers
Ensure datasets have stable identifiers for citation.
Access statements
Clarify any access restrictions or approval processes.
Data use licenses
State reuse terms and licensing conditions.
- Repository name and persistent identifier or accession number.
- Conditions for access if data are restricted or sensitive.
- Any embargo period and expected release date.
- Contact point for data access requests if required.
- Description of files included and file formats.
- Relationship between data files and figures or tables.
- Indicate whether code is included and how to access it.
- Note any materials transfer agreements that apply.
When data cannot be shared publicly due to privacy, regulatory, or contractual limits, provide a clear explanation and outline the controlled access process.
De identify patient data and follow institutional or legal requirements before depositing files.
If data are restricted, share sufficient metadata so readers can understand the dataset scope.
- Confirm the repository you plan to use and its access requirements.
- Prepare a data dictionary or metadata file for complex datasets.
- Align file naming conventions across data and manuscript references.
- Ensure coauthor approval for data release or controlled access.
- Document any embargo periods in the cover letter.
- Verify that data sharing aligns with funder requirements.
- Keep copies of any data use agreements for your records.
- Notify the editorial office if data sharing is restricted.
- Confirm that repository terms allow public access or controlled access.
- Ensure files are in open, non proprietary formats when possible.
- Verify that sensitive data are de identified.
- Check that metadata clearly describes each file.
- Cite the repository DOI in the manuscript.
- Confirm that data access aligns with ethics approvals.
Transparent data practices strengthen trust in regenerative medicine and support future clinical translation.
