Publishing policies

Data Availability

Data statements explain supporting evidence while respecting legitimate restrictions.

These policies apply across ANVA Journals unless an explicitly stated journal or article-specific requirement applies. Last updated: 1 September 2026.

Statements

Where applicable, state whether data are in a public repository, available on reasonable request or controlled access, included in the article or supplement, obtained from a third party, restricted or sensitive, or whether no new data were created or analysed.

Repository data and citation

Deposit public data appropriately where feasible and cite it as a research output using a persistent identifier where applicable. State access conditions clearly.

Justified restrictions

Disclosure is never required where it would violate privacy, consent, confidentiality, law, ethics approval, security, contracts, third-party rights, or legitimate intellectual-property restrictions.
