To promote research integrity and reproducibility, JAD encourages authors to share all data, software, and protocols used in their research.

• Authors are required to include a “Data Availability Statement” in their manuscript.
• When datasets are not publicly shared, authors must explain why.
• Authors using proprietary datasets must ensure reproducibility through sufficient methodological transparency.

Reproducible research is a cornerstone of academic credibility and JAD supports efforts to enhance replicability.
