Data Archiving Permissions

JDOI supports open science by encouraging data sharing and providing clear archiving permissions for dental research.

JDOI encourages authors to make research data available to support reproducibility and facilitate secondary analyses. Data underlying published findings should be made accessible through appropriate repositories whenever ethically and legally permissible.

Authors retain the right to archive and share their published work under our open access model:

• Preprints: Authors may post preprints to preprint servers at any time
• Author's Final Manuscript: May be archived in institutional repositories
• Published Version: The final published PDF may be shared under CC BY 4.0 license
• Research Data: Underlying datasets may be deposited in appropriate repositories
• Clinical Images: May be reused with appropriate citation and patient consent

For dental and biomedical research data, we recommend the following repositories:

• Figshare: General-purpose repository for research data and materials
• Zenodo: Open-access repository hosted by CERN
• Dryad: Curated digital repository for research data
• Institutional Repositories: Many universities maintain research data repositories
• Discipline-Specific: Specialized dental and biomedical databases as appropriate

Dental research often involves patient health information. Authors must ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulations including HIPAA and GDPR. Patient data should be appropriately de-identified before sharing. Clinical images require documented patient consent for any reuse beyond the original publication.

JDOI is committed to long-term digital preservation of published content. All articles are archived to ensure continued accessibility. We work with preservation services to protect against data loss and ensure your research remains available to future generations of dental professionals.

Any corrections or updates to published articles are handled through formal processes with clear versioning. Original versions remain accessible, and all changes are transparently documented to maintain the integrity of the scientific record.
