Journal of Scientia Technologiae (JST), published by Publisher Karya Grafindo Prima Perkasa, upholds the principles of transparency, openness, reproducibility, and responsible scholarly communication.

To support these principles and maintain the integrity of the academic record, authors are encouraged to make research data available in accordance with ethical, institutional, and legal standards.

 

DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT

Requirement

• All submitted manuscripts must include a Data Availability Statement clearly explaining whether the data supporting the findings of the study are available, where the data can be accessed, and under what conditions access is permitted.

Examples of Data Availability Statements include:

• “All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this published article.”
  • “The data supporting the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.”
  • “The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available in [repository name], [accession number or DOI].”

 

DATA REPOSITORIES AND FORMATS

Recommended Repositories:

• Zenodo
  • Figshare
  • Harvard Dataverse
  • Dryad
  • Open Science Framework (OSF)
  • Institutional repositories or trusted academic archives

File Formats and Documentation:

• CSV
  • TXT
  • JSON
  • PDF/A

Datasets must include sufficient metadata, documentation, codebooks, or methodological explanations to support reproducibility and secondary analysis.

 

ETHICAL AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

Authors must ensure that all data sharing complies with:
• Ethical research standards
• Institutional regulations

When data involve:
• Human participants
• Sensitive information

If data cannot be shared due to ethical, legal, or contractual restrictions, authors must clearly state this in the Data Availability Statement.

 

EMBARGO PERIODS AND EXCEPTIONS

Embargo Requests:

• Authors may request a temporary embargo period restricting public access to research data for justified reasons such as completion of related research, patent applications, or institutional/contractual obligations.
  • The embargo duration is generally up to 12 months and must be clearly justified.

Exceptions:

• Some datasets cannot be publicly shared due to ethical limitations, privacy concerns, legal restrictions, or confidentiality agreements.
  • These cases will be evaluated individually by the Editorial Board in accordance with COPE principles.

 

CITATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SHARED DATA

Authors who share datasets must provide proper citation and acknowledgment of the repository source:
• Dataset DOI, persistent links, and repository accession numbers should be included in references or appendices.
• Any reuse of data must properly acknowledge the original creators and contributors.

 

COMPLIANCE AND EDITORIAL OVERSIGHT

The Editorial Board of Journal of Scientia Technologiae (JST) may verify data availability statements and request access to underlying data during the review or publication process.
• Failure to comply may result in revision requests, publication delays, editorial investigation, or retraction in severe cases.

 

CONTRIBUTION TO OPEN SCIENCE
