Data Archiving and Permissions
How authors make data available and obtain permissions for material in the International Journal of Ornithology.
Data-availability statement
Every empirical research manuscript must include a data-availability statement. It says where the data and code supporting the findings can be found, or explains why they cannot be shared.
Where to deposit data
Authors are encouraged to deposit data in a public repository that assigns a persistent identifier. Examples include general-purpose repositories such as Dryad, Zenodo or Figshare, sequence data in GenBank or other INSDC databases, animal-tracking data in Movebank, and sound recordings in a suitable audio archive. Cite the repository and identifier in the manuscript.
Locations of vulnerable species
Precise locations of nests, roosts and breeding sites of threatened or persecuted species can put birds at risk. Authors should deposit coarse locations, or place the exact data under controlled access, and explain the arrangement in the data-availability statement.
Material from other sources
Authors obtain permission for third-party figures, photographs, recordings and data, and state the source and license. Articles are published under CC BY 4.0; see Copyright and License.
