WHEN DATA CANNOT BE SHARED

Justify the limit
Offer a path

If data cannot be shared due to legal, ethical, privacy, proprietary, or patient-confidentiality restrictions, authors must clearly justify the limitation within the manuscript. Acceptable reasons include:

  • Patient privacy or identifiable health information
  • Restrictions imposed by institutional review boards (IRBs) or ethics committees
  • National or international data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA)
  • Confidential commercial, clinical trial, or proprietary data

In such cases, authors should provide a statement describing how qualified researchers may request limited or controlled access when possible.
