Data Archiving & Sharing
Promoting transparency and reproducibility in parasitology research.
Open Data Advances Parasitology Science
JPR recognizes that parasitology research data underlying published findings are as valuable as publications themselves. We require authors to share data openly while balancing biosecurity considerations, enabling reproducibility and accelerating discovery.
Sequence Data
- GenBank/ENA/DDBJ deposit required
- Accession numbers in manuscript
- Whole genome in appropriate archives
- Release upon publication
- Complete metadata submission
Epidemiological Data
- De-identified datasets
- Geographic data (aggregated)
- Survey protocols shared
- Statistical code available
- Privacy protection measures
Supporting Data
- Raw experimental data
- Microscopy images
- Analysis code and scripts
- Dryad or Zenodo deposit
- DOI assignment for citation
Parasite Collections
Deposit type specimens in recognized natural history museums or parasitology collections. Provide collection accession numbers and contact information for loan requests.
Strain Repositories
Deposit characterized parasite strains in ATCC, BEI Resources, or regional biobanks. Share culture protocols and authentication data.
Geographic Data
Share GPS coordinates appropriately. For sensitive locations (endangered species, human settlements), aggregate or buffer coordinates to protect privacy.
Resistance Markers
Drug resistance genotyping data should be shared through appropriate surveillance networks (WWARN, WHO databases) when applicable.
Biosecurity: For dual-use research or select agents, controlled access mechanisms may satisfy transparency requirements while ensuring responsible data sharing.
