Academic publishing requires linguistically inclusive policies
<p>Curated databases of the project "Academic publishing requires linguistically inclusive policies." </p> <p>"CuratedDatabase_Guidelines.txt" and "CuratedDatabase_Survey.txt" contain information about the linguistic policies of journals in biological sciences. Their information was collected from author guidelines and surveys to editors-in-chief, respectively.

Overview of Research Data Sharing Policies Across Various Scientific Publishers
<p><strong>Context </strong></p><p>With the aim of advancing trust in published research, (scientific) publishers are developing Research Data Sharing Policies for their portfolio. Some publishers have the same policy across all journals. For example for the publishers Frontiers and Springer-Nature, a Data Availability statement is mandatory for all journals in their portfolio. While other publishers have different policy levels depending on the journal (e.g. Elsevier, American Chemical Society). In this list, one will find a short overview of Research Data Sharing Policies across publishers (mostly relevant to the Faculty of Science at Utrecht University).</p><p><strong>Limitations</strong></p><p>The list of publishers does not encompass all scientific publishers. Some Research Data Sharing Policies might be subjected to change.</p>
Analysis of publisher policies on code sharing
<p>At the <a href="https://www.rd-alliance.org/plenaries/rda-19th-plenary-meeting-part-international-data-week-20%E2%80%9323-june-2022-seoul-south-korea">19th Research Data Alliance Plenary</a> (June 2022), a <a href="https://www.rd-alliance.org/sharing-code-supports-research-articles-it-time-align-goals-and-publisher-policies">Birds of a Feather session</a> was convened to discuss aspects of code sharing and investigate if there was a consensus on which aspect of code sharing the community should be a focus of attention. The group, which included publishers, institutions, researchers and infrastructure providers, agreed to focus on "code" (i.e., "single use" or "one-shot", often referred to as "analysis code") that usually accompanies published articles and increasing the availability of this code. Note that this refers to a specific context in which "source code" is created and not "code" more generally.</p><p>Following this session, a <a href="https://www.researchsoft.org/taskforces/">Research Software Alliance task force </a>on code availability was convened and three group members carried out a high level landscape analysis of publisher policies around code sharing using the <a href="https://www.chorusaccess.org/resources/chorus-for-publishers/publisher-data-availability-policies-index/">CHORUS Publisher Data Availability Policies Index</a> to gather a list of publishers. After feedback from other group members a more comprehensive analysis of the policies was carried out. Publisher policies were assessed for the presence of language related to code sharing and, if present, it was subsequently characterised. Coding of the policies and associated language was carried out independently by all three authors and a consensus derived. Details are given on the README tab of the dataset.</p>
Dataset: Open Access: An Analysis of Publisher Copyright and Licensing Policies in Europe, 2020
<p>This dataset supports the SPARC Europe study that investigates the copyright retention policy amongst publishers, self-archiving policies and records publisher policies on open licensing, also as relating to the Plan S requirements on rights and licensing. The report can be found here: 10.5281/zenodo.4046624)</p> <p><strong>Data reuse information</strong></p> <p>These data were compiled by Chris Morrison and Jane Secker as part of the above-mentioned research project. For more information on how the data were produced and verified see 3.3 of the report 10.5281/zenodo.4046624. There are two sets of data with supporting information that are made available under different reuse terms.</p> <p><strong>1. DOAJ dataset</strong></p> <p>The file "DOAJ data May2020" was extracted from the Directory of Open Access Journals on 10 May 2020 and represents an analysis of the data (which is (c) 2020 DOAJ) by Chris Morrison and Jane Secker.
