Data Sharing Policy

The Journal of Sports Research and Innovation (JSRI) supports openness and transparency in research. Authors are encouraged to make their research data available to other researchers to support reproducibility and verification of results.

Data Availability Statements

All research articles published in JSRI must include a Data Availability Statement indicating whether the data supporting the findings are available, and if so, where and how they can be accessed.

Data Sharing Recommendations

Authors are encouraged to deposit anonymised research data, code, and materials in a trusted repository (e.g., Zenodo, Figshare, Dryad, OSF, Mendeley Data, or a relevant domain-specific repository) whenever legally and ethically possible.

Exceptions

If data cannot be shared, authors must explain the reason in the Data Availability Statement, for example:

• privacy or confidentiality restrictions (e.g., identifiable participant data);
• ethical restrictions imposed by an ethics committee;
• legal limitations;
• third-party ownership of the data.

Authors who cannot share full datasets are encouraged to share as much data as possible (e.g., summary statistics, anonymised subsets) and to provide data upon reasonable request.
