Guidelines for sharing and preserving nephrology research data to advance kidney science transparency and reproducibility.
Supporting Open Science in Nephrology
Nephrology Advances encourages responsible data sharing practices that enhance research transparency and enable validation of kidney research findings and clinical innovations.
Our policies balance open science principles with patient privacy requirements essential for clinical nephrology research involving sensitive health information.
Nephrology Advances supports data sharing as a means to enhance research reproducibility and accelerate kidney science advancement. Authors are encouraged to make underlying datasets available where practically possible while protecting patient confidentiality in clinical studies.
Repository Deposit
Authors may deposit research datasets in recognized medical and biomedical repositories with appropriate access controls for sensitive patient information.
Data Availability Statements
All manuscripts should include clear statements regarding data availability, access restrictions, and procedures for requesting nephrology research data.
Patient Privacy
Data sharing must comply with HIPAA, GDPR, and applicable patient confidentiality regulations essential for clinical kidney research protection.
Nephrology Advances authors retain rights to archive their work in institutional repositories and personal websites. Published versions may be deposited in open repositories immediately upon publication without embargo periods, supporting maximum accessibility of kidney research.
- Preprints may be posted to preprint servers and updated with links to published versions of nephrology research
- Accepted manuscripts may be deposited in institutional repositories supporting kidney research access
- Published PDFs may be shared for educational and non-commercial research purposes in medicine
- Authors retain rights to include articles in theses, reports, and teaching materials for nephrology education
Clinical data sensitivity: Given patient privacy requirements in clinical nephrology research, Nephrology Advances recognizes that complete data sharing may not always be appropriate. Authors should clearly explain any restrictions necessary to protect patient confidentiality.
Nephrology Advances partners with digital preservation services ensuring permanent accessibility of published articles. Our archiving arrangements protect the scholarly record for future nephrologists and kidney scientists worldwide.
Our data policies support compliance with major research funders including NIH, Wellcome Trust, and foundations requiring data sharing for funded nephrology and kidney research studies. Authors should consult specific funder requirements when planning data management.
