Open data policies
The journal supports the principles of open science and encourages authors to ensure transparency, verifiability, and reproducibility of research results. Where relevant and feasible, research materials should comply with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
FAIR Principles
Findable
Research materials should be deposited in a reliable repository and assigned a persistent identifier (DOI) that enables their unambiguous identification and citation.
Accessible
Data should be accessible through standardized access mechanisms. Where restrictions exist (ethical, legal, or contractual), authors must clearly indicate them.
Interoperable
Where possible, data should be provided in open or widely used formats that allow their use across different research environments.
Reusable
Data should be accompanied by sufficient description (metadata) to enable other researchers to understand the context of their creation and to reuse them appropriately.
In the context of philosophical research, research data may include structured materials created or used in the course of the study, including:
- anonymized survey datasets and other empirical materials;
- argumentative reconstructions (claim–premise–conclusion);
- formalized logical derivations, models, and proof files;
- annotated text corpora;
- structured bibliographic or conceptual databases.
Data Deposition and Disclosure
If authors make research data openly available, it is recommended that they deposit them in institutional, national, or international repositories with a persistent identifier (DOI) and indicate this DOI in the article metadata upon submission through the OJS system.
The journal does not require data sharing where this would conflict with ethical, legal, or security restrictions. In such cases, authors must provide a justification for the restriction of access.
