Data Retrieval Policy

The Data Retrieval Policy for the Journal of Veterinary Medicine is established to promote transparency, reproducibility, and ethical standards in the research published within the journal. Authors are required to make all relevant data underlying their findings available to facilitate verification and further exploration of veterinary science. Upon submission, authors must include a statement regarding the availability of their data, indicating whether it can be accessed publicly, is available upon request, or is subject to restrictions due to ethical or privacy considerations.

For studies involving animal subjects, it is essential that authors adhere to ethical guidelines, ensuring that any shared data complies with regulations regarding animal welfare and confidentiality. Sensitive information must be anonymized to protect the identities of the animals involved in the research. Authors are encouraged to deposit their data in recognized public repositories, where feasible, and to provide a persistent identifier (such as a DOI) to enhance accessibility and facilitate future research.

In cases where data cannot be made publicly available, authors should provide a clear justification for this decision and outline the conditions under which the data may be accessed. The journal reserves the right to request access to the data for verification purposes during the peer review process or after publication. By adhering to this Data Retrieval Policy, authors contribute to the integrity of research in veterinary medicine, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration within the scientific community. This commitment to data transparency not only enhances the credibility of published work but also supports the advancement of knowledge and best practices in the field of veterinary science.
