Data Availability Statement

Where applicable, authors should clearly state how the data supporting their research can be accessed. The statement should indicate whether the data are publicly available, available through a repository, available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request, or subject to specific access conditions or restrictions.

For research involving biological samples, laboratory experiments, chemical analyses, genetic information, or other scientific investigations, authors should describe the availability of relevant datasets, experimental results, protocols, and supporting materials where appropriate.

If the data cannot be shared publicly due to privacy, confidentiality, ethical, legal, biosafety, intellectual property, or other legitimate restrictions, authors should clearly explain the reason and, where possible, describe how access to the data may be obtained.

Third-Party Data

Authors are responsible for identifying third-party data and materials used in their research. Where third-party material is subject to separate rights or restrictions, authors should obtain permission where required, acknowledge the original source, and follow the applicable license or access conditions.

Third-party material may include biological specimens, genetic or genomic datasets, chemical databases, laboratory resources, published figures, molecular structures, and other research materials. Such material should not be presented as being owned by the authors or licensed by the journal when it is not.

Supplementary Materials

Where appropriate, authors may provide supplementary materials to support their research. These may include datasets, additional tables or figures, experimental protocols, laboratory procedures, chemical structures, supplementary analyses, questionnaires, appendices, code, images, and other relevant supporting materials.

Supplementary materials should be clearly identified and cited in the manuscript where appropriate. Materials should be sufficiently documented to support the interpretation and reproducibility of the research. Any material subject to separate copyright or licensing terms should also be clearly identified.

Data and Ethical Requirements

Where applicable, the Data Availability Statement should be provided along with other relevant declarations, such as:

Authors are responsible for ensuring that research data and supporting materials comply with applicable ethical, privacy, confidentiality, biosafety, copyright, and licensing requirements. Research involving human participants, animals, identifiable biological samples, or sensitive genetic information should follow applicable ethical and legal requirements.

Authors should ensure that shared data and supplementary materials are accurate, appropriately documented, and consistent with the findings reported in the manuscript.
