Adding research data

As a researcher, you are increasingly encouraged, and sometimes even required, to make your research data available, accessible, discoverable and usable.

As an Elsevier author, when submitting your article, you can choose to store your data in a repository like Mendeley Data abre em uma nova guia/janela, in order to make your dataset independently citable, and link it with your article.

You can also choose to submit a brief, peer-reviewed data article. Your data article will be published in the dedicated, open access journal Data in Brief abre em uma nova guia/janela and will be indexed, as well as linked, with your original research article.

Data statement

Elsevier journals and many others provide guidelines on data sharing. There can be reasons why you are not able to share your research data, for example, due to confidentiality.
