Data Archiving & Sharing
Supporting transparency in language research.
Research Data Policy
JLR supports open science while recognizing linguistics research may involve sensitive language data requiring ethical considerations.
Data Availability
Corpus Data
Share corpus data through established repositories (CHILDES, TalkBank, CLARIN) with appropriate access controls.
Audio/Video
Speech recordings should be deposited where consent permits, with transcriptions.
Code
Analysis scripts and computational tools should be shared via GitHub or OSF.
Participant Protection
Language Data Sensitivity: Speech data and personal language use require careful handling. Address speaker consent, anonymization, and community permissions.
- Remove personally identifiable information from transcripts
- Document consent for data sharing at collection
- Consider community protocols for endangered language data
- Follow institutional data governance requirements
Include data availability statements in all manuscripts. Contact editors for guidance.
