Data Archiving Permissions
Flexible archiving policies supporting data preservation and research accessibility for dermatology science.
Research Preservation Standards
Dermatologic Research And Therapy supports comprehensive data archiving to ensure long-term accessibility and reproducibility of published skin research. Our policies enable authors to preserve and share research materials appropriately.
We recognize that transparent data practices strengthen the dermatology research enterprise and accelerate clinical translation.
Authors retain significant rights to archive and distribute their dermatology work across multiple platforms, maximizing research accessibility while respecting publication agreements for skin science.
Institutional Repositories
Authors may deposit published dermatology articles in their institutional repositories immediately upon publication without embargo restrictions.
Subject Repositories
Deposit in dermatology-relevant subject repositories such as medical preprint servers is permitted and encouraged for skin research visibility.
Personal Websites
Authors may post published dermatology articles on personal or laboratory websites with appropriate citation and linking to the published version.
Research Networks
Sharing through academic social networks including ResearchGate and Academia.edu is permitted for dermatology publications.
Dermatologic Research And Therapy encourages authors to make underlying skin research data available when possible. Data sharing supports reproducibility and enables secondary analyses advancing clinical dermatology knowledge.
- Raw dermatology data may be deposited in appropriate public repositories with dataset DOIs
- Data availability statements should describe access conditions for skin research datasets
- Sensitive patient data requires appropriate anonymization and ethics compliance for dermatology studies
- Code and analysis scripts supporting skin research findings may be shared through code repositories
Patient privacy: Dermatology research involving patient images or clinical data must comply with privacy regulations. Appropriate consent and anonymization are required for all skin patient photographs and sensitive data.
When archiving dermatology research, clearly distinguish between preprint versions and final published articles. Link archived versions to the published DOI when possible. Updated versions should reference previous deposits appropriately for skin science publications.
Dermatologic Research And Therapy partners with digital preservation services to ensure permanent accessibility of all published dermatology content. These partnerships guarantee your skin research remains available regardless of organizational changes.
