GI Journal of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences supports transparency, reproducibility, and integrity in scientific research. Authors are encouraged to make the data supporting the findings of their study available whenever ethically and legally possible.

Authors should include a Data Availability Statement within their manuscript describing the accessibility of the research data associated with the article. The statement should specify:

• Where the data can be accessed
• Conditions for access, if any
• Repository name and persistent identifier (DOI or URL) where applicable
• Reasons for data restrictions, if data cannot be publicly shared

Examples of acceptable statements include:

• “The data supporting the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.”

• “The datasets generated during the current study are publicly available in [repository name] at [DOI/URL].”

If data sharing is restricted due to ethical, privacy, legal, or confidentiality concerns, authors must clearly explain the limitations.

Editors may request access to underlying research data during the peer review or post-publication process to verify the validity of the reported findings. Failure to provide authentic supporting data when requested may result in rejection, correction, or retraction of the article.

The journal encourages authors to follow recognized data-sharing principles and ethical standards to promote responsible scientific communication and research reproducibility.
