Open Research Data Policy
The Collection of Scientific Papers supports the principles of open science and encourages authors to ensure the transparency of research processes. Authors must provide sufficient information regarding the obtained data, methods of their processing, and analysis, so that other researchers can verify, reproduce, or develop the results.
Adherence to FAIR principles. The Collection of Scientific Papers encourages authors to adhere to the international FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)—to ensure the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of data. This enhances the scientific quality of research and facilitates its integration into the global scientific environment.
Adherence to CARE principles regarding sensitive data. In the case of working with sensitive data (for example, data of vulnerable groups, personal or ethnographic materials), authors must adhere to the ethical CARE principles (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics), take responsibility and observe ethical norms, and ensure the protection of privacy and compliance with applicable legislation.
Archiving Policy

Encouragement of data hosting. The Collection of Scientific Papers encourages the publication and exchange of open data in accordance with the Panton Principles and the FAIR Data3 principles.
