Research data policy

Anales de Documentación is committed to the deposit of research data in the form of "datasets". On the road to Open Science all policies, mandates and initiatives reveal the value of research data, as well as the importance of being able to share and reuse them. Any institutional action to do so becomes significant.

We recommend depositing the data obtained from the research carried out for the preparation of the article in repositories of recognized prestige, specific to the discipline or of a generalist type. In any case, this repository should comply with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles, allowing unhindered consultation and interoperability, preferably in open access.

There are several repositories designed to preserve and disseminate specific data such as survey results, observation results, interviews, simulations, automatically collected data, samples, models... The re3data research data repository registry can be consulted.

Our journal does not have (for the moment) its own infrastructure to deposit and make public these research data. In these cases, one of the best options is to make use of zenodo, the European Union repository implemented by the OpenAIRE project and managed by CERN.

The library of the Polytechnic University of Valencia has prepared a guide to help publish these datasets (it should be noted that this university has a "community" created in this repository, which is not the case of our journal, but with that caveat, this document serves as guidance and help).
