Data Availability Policy

The Journal of Environmental Impact and Management Policy (JEIMP) supports the principles of research transparency and open science. Authors are required to include a Data Availability Statement (DAS) in all research articles to inform readers about the availability of underlying data.

  1. Requirement

All original research articles must include a 'Data Availability Statement' section immediately before the References section. Review articles, case studies, and policy analyses that do not generate primary data should include a statement explaining this.

  1. Acceptable Statement Templates

Authors may adapt one of the following:

  • "The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request."
  • "The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are available in the [repository name] repository, [persistent URL or DOI]."
  • "All data generated or analysed during this study are included in this published article and its supplementary information files."
  • "The datasets used in this study are not publicly available due to [privacy/confidentiality reasons] but may be available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request."
  • "This is a review/opinion/policy article and no primary datasets were generated."
  1. Recommended Repositories

Authors are encouraged to deposit datasets in recognised open repositories prior to submission, including: Zenodo (zenodo.org), Figshare (figshare.com), Dryad (datadryad.org), OSF (osf.io), or PANGAEA (pangaea.de) for earth and environmental science data. Deposited datasets must be cited in the reference list with a persistent DOI.
