Data warehouse policy

Fundamentals

The growing demand for the publication of supporting data resulting from the research process meets the principles of the Open Science movement, which in this respect promotes the sharing of data derived from research.

In Argentina, the fundamentals of data sharing are expressed in Law 26.899 for the Creation of Institutional Digital Repositories of Open Access, Own or Shared, and its regulation. In accordance with this rule, the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) established by resolution that journals included in the Basic Nucleus of Argentine Scientific Journals “shall require supporting data from research and its warehouse according to Law 26.899, Institutional Digital Repositories of Open Access”.

How to deposit supporting data for works submitted to the Revista Argentina de Salud Pública (RASP)?

In order to meet the requirements, the author should have access to a research data repository. If at least one of the authors of the work submitted to the journal for publication belongs to an organization with a repository certified according to the Law 26.899, he/she will be able to deposit the research data in it and get the relevant link, which should then be inserted in the body of the article with the corresponding bibliographic reference.

SciELo Data

In cases where the author does not have access to a repository within the framework of the above mentioned regulation, the RASP asks him/her to do it in the Open Access repository SciELo Data, whose service is free of charge and available for those who have deposited a research article that has been submitted for consideration to a scientific journal and was not evaluated, or was already evaluated and is going through the publication process, which in both cases is called preprint version (refer to RASP preprint policy). For that purpose SciELo provides the repository SciELo preprints, that accepts health science articles and offers a free of charge service (refer to Preprints). Once data have been deposited, SciELo Data will provide the relevant hosting link, which should then be inserted by the author in the body of the article with the corresponding bibliographic reference.
