Data Sharing Policy

The Journal is committed to promoting transparency and credibility in humanities research by encouraging researchers to disclose the data or materials upon which their research is based, in accordance with ethical principles and legal and cultural constraints.

Researchers are requested to provide a clear data-sharing statement within their research, indicating whether the data are available for access or use, where they can be accessed, or whether there are reasons preventing their sharing, such as privacy, copyright, or institutional agreements.

The data concerned include, but are not limited to, research instruments (such as questionnaires and interview protocols), texts or documents used, coding schemes in qualitative analysis, or the corpora used in linguistic or literary studies.

The Journal recognizes the particular nature and complexities of humanities research; therefore, data sharing is not mandatory. However, researchers are encouraged to clarify the extent to which their data are available and to provide them upon request whenever possible, in a manner that ensures respect for research ethics and the protection of participants.
