Data sharing is not a must in journals published by Anser Press, but the editors reserve the right to request the raw data materials from the authors for the purpose of verification. Authors are required to declare a statement concerning data availability in a section called “Availability of data” at the bottom of all submissions. Authors must disclose the ways how raw data materials can be shared with readers, especially for research articles.
