The International Journal of Arts, Humanities And Social Studies is committed to promoting transparency, research integrity, and reproducibility in scientific publishing. The journal encourages authors to make the data, materials, software, and methodologies underlying their research available whenever possible to facilitate verification, replication, and further scientific advancement. We believe that citing research datasets through standard reference lists provides a reliable and accessible means of supporting reproducible research.
Authors are encouraged to:
Deposit research datasets in recognized public or institutional repositories whenever appropriate.
Include a Data Availability Statement in their manuscript describing where and how the supporting data can be accessed.
Ensure that shared datasets are complete, accurate, and sufficiently documented to enable reuse and verification.
Clearly state any legal, ethical, privacy, or confidentiality restrictions if data cannot be publicly shared.
Datasets that contribute directly to the research findings should be formally cited in the manuscript's reference list using accepted citation standards. Data citations should include sufficient information to identify, locate, and access the dataset, including persistent identifiers such as DOIs where available.
To support reproducible research, authors should provide adequate methodological details, analytical procedures, software information, and statistical approaches necessary for other researchers to replicate the study. Where applicable, authors are encouraged to share source code, protocols, supplementary materials, and computational workflows used in the research.
