Research data policy

IOP Publishing supports the principles of transparency and openness in scientific research, with the reproducibility of research facilitated by the availability of data, code and research materials underpinning research articles.

Many research funders now require authors to make all data related to their research available in an online repository. Funder policies can be viewed at the Sherpa Juliet database.

Some journals that IOP Publishing publishes on behalf of another society or organisation may have its own custom policy on research data. Please check their specific journal guidelines before submitting your article.
