Data Availability Statements

Authors are required to include a Data Availability Statement indicating where and how the data supporting the findings can be accessed. If data cannot be shared, authors must provide a clear justification (e.g., ethical, legal, or confidentiality constraints).

Reporting Standards

Manuscripts must provide sufficient methodological detail to allow readers to understand, evaluate, and replicate the study. Authors are encouraged to follow recognized reporting guidelines appropriate to their discipline.

Reproducibility Guidelines

Authors should ensure that their findings are reproducible by providing transparent descriptions of methods, data, and analytical procedures. When possible, datasets, instruments, and code should be made publicly available or accessible upon reasonable request.
