Animal Research Perspectives (ARP) is committed to the principles of transparency and reproducibility in scholarly research. To this end, we strongly encourage all authors to make the data underlying their findings as openly and freely available as possible.
Data Availability Statement
All research articles must include a Data Availability Statement (DAS) as a separate section before the References. This statement should clearly describe where and how the data supporting the results can be accessed. Examples of acceptable statements include:
l Data openly available in a public repository: "The data that support the findings of this study are openly available in (epository name, e.g., Zenodo) at (DOI/URL), reference number (reference number)."
l Data available upon request: "The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, (author name), upon reasonable request."
l Data not publicly available: "The data that support the findings of this study are not publicly available due to (e.g., restrictions imposed by the ethics committee, or containing information that could compromise the privacy of research participants)."
Recommended Repositories
ARP encourages authors to deposit their data in trusted, domain-specific, or general-purpose repositories that ensure long-term preservation and provide persistent identifiers (e.g., DOIs). Suitable general repositories include, but are not limited to:
l Zenodo
l Dryad
l Figshare
For genetic, genomic, and proteomic data, we recommend specialized repositories such as GenBank, SRA (Sequence Read Archive), PRIDE (Proteomics Identifications Database), and ENA (European Nucleotide Archive).
Authors are responsible for ensuring that any data shared complies with relevant ethical and legal standards, including those related to patient privacy and confidentiality.
Reproducibility
To further support reproducibility, authors are encouraged to provide a clear and complete description of their methods, including all software, code, and statistical analyses used, in the main manuscript or as supplementary material.
