Data and Reproducibility Policy

"Frontiers in Healthcare Research" fully embraces the open-access paradigm, ensuring that our published research is not just accessible but also verifiable. In accordance with the standards set by the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), our Data and Reproducibility Policy is detailed as follows:

  1. Mandatory Data Sharing: Authors are obligated to openly share their research data, including raw and processed data, tools, and methodologies, to allow for accurate replication and verification of their work.
  2. Data Availability Statements: Each manuscript must include a statement that specifies where the data supporting the findings can be found, ensuring data accessibility.
  3. Detailed Methodological Transparency: The methods and analyses used in the research must be thoroughly described, providing clarity and facilitating reproducibility.
  4. Support for Replication Studies: Our journal welcomes replication studies, recognizing their importance in validating research findings, and treats them with the same level of rigorous peer review as original research.
  5. Responsive Inquiries Process: We are committed to addressing any inquiries related to data or reproducibility promptly and constructively, ensuring the integrity of our publications.

Our Data and Reproducibility Policy is designed to bolster the integrity and impact of the research we publish, fostering an environment where transparency and reproducibility are the norm.
