Samvakti Journals supports transparency and accessibility in research. Because our journals publish work across multiple disciplines, requirements for data sharing may vary depending on the nature of the study, confidentiality constraints, ethical approvals, and institutional guidelines.

This policy applies to all journals published under Samvakti Pvt. Ltd.

The purpose of this policy is to encourage authors to make research data available whenever possible, thereby supporting reproducibility, validation, and the broader scientific record.

Samvakti Journals does not mandate public data sharing but expects authors to provide a clear Data Availability Statement in every submission.

Each manuscript must include a Data Availability Statement describing the status of the underlying data. Authors may choose one of the following formats:

2.1 Data Publicly Available

“The data supporting the findings of this study are openly available at: [repository/link].”

2.2 Data Available Upon Request

“The data supporting this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.”

2.3 Data Subject to Restrictions

“The data are not publicly available due to privacy, confidentiality, legal, or ethical restrictions.”

2.4 No Data Generated

“No new data were created or analyzed in this study. Therefore, data sharing is not applicable.”

2.5 Data Included in the Article

“All data generated during this study are included within the article.”

Authors must ensure that their statement accurately reflects the status of their data.

Depending on the research design, data may include:

• Numerical datasets
• Survey responses
• Images, charts, or figures
• Qualitative transcripts
• Software code, models, or algorithms
• Laboratory or experimental data
• Supplementary materials

Authors are responsible for ensuring that shared data comply with ethical and legal requirements.

Data must not be shared if doing so would violate:

• Participant confidentiality
• Institutional restrictions
• Legal requirements
• Ethical approvals
• Third-party rights

Authors must take appropriate steps to protect privacy before sharing any data.

If authors choose to make data publicly available, they may deposit it in any appropriate and trusted location of their choice. This may include:

• Institutional repositories
• Discipline-specific repositories
• General repositories (e.g., Zenodo, Figshare, OSF)
• Any platform that ensures stable access and appropriate permissions

Samvakti Journals does not restrict authors to specific repository types.
Authors may use any repository or storage location that meets ethical and legal requirements and allows readers to access the data when appropriate.

Samvakti Journals does not host or store research data directly.

Authors are responsible for:

• Providing accurate data availability information
• Ensuring data accessibility when stated
• Complying with ethical and legal guidelines
• Retaining data for verification upon request

Failure to provide accurate information may affect peer review or lead to post-publication action.

Editors and reviewers may:

• Request clarification of the Data Availability Statement
• Ask for supporting data during review
• Evaluate whether the data availability supports the study’s claims

The editorial office does not store or manage research data.

If data availability changes after publication, authors must notify the editorial office.
An update or correction may be issued if necessary.
