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).
In the context of pedagogical research, research data may include structured materials created or used in the course of the study, including:
- «anonymised datasets derived from questionnaires, surveys, tests» and other empirical materials;
- results of «pedagogical observation, interviews, conversations, focus groups, the analysis of pedagogical situations»;
- diagnostic materials: «assessment instruments, scales, questionnaires, observation records, criteria, indicators»;
- teaching and methodological materials, «developed, piloted within the framework of the study»;
- structured descriptions of experimental work, including materials from the «diagnostic, formative, control stages»;
- synthesised results of «quantitative, qualitative analysis», as well as «tables, matrices, coding schemes, analytical generalisations»;
- annotated textual datasets: «student work, reflective materials, interpretations of participants’ responses»;
- structured «bibliographic, conceptual, methodological databases», compiled in the course of the research.
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.
