Description

This guide provides information on how to write detailed data availability statements (DAS) in preprints and journal articles. DAS are used to communicate if data is available, where they are stored, how access is evaluated/granted, and if data is not available, why access is restricted. The guide applies to researchers who are depositing data publicly, or those who have restricted data that can only be made available under certain conditions.
