Eye Science believes that data sharing is crucial for enhancing research transparency, facilitating the accumulation of scientific knowledge, and validating research results. We encourage and support authors in sharing their research data whenever feasible and appropriate, and we ask that they provide links to access these data.

Data Sharing Statement

When submitting a manuscript, authors are required to provide a detailed data sharing statement. This statement should clearly specify the following:

 · Whether de-identified individual participant data, including a data dictionary, will be shared;

 · The specific types of data to be shared;

 · Whether additional research materials, such as study protocols or statistical analysis plans, will be provided;

 · The availability period and duration of data accessibility;

 · The criteria for data access, including eligible recipients, types of analyses allowed, and mechanisms for sharing.

Please note that “undecided” is not an acceptable response.

Data Access Links

To facilitate readers' access to and understanding of the research data, we encourage authors to deposit their data in public repositories and provide direct links in the article. 

We believe that the implementation of these policies will better serve the scientific community, enhance the quality and impact of research, and contribute to the advancement of the field of ophthalmology. We look forward to the active participation and cooperation of authors in fostering an open and shared research environment.
