Q. What is a data availability statement?

A data availability statement (or data access statement) is a short paragraph in a journal article or other publication, stating how the underlying research data may be obtained and under what conditions or restrictions. It normally includes links to any data deposited in repositories. You can find examples and more information in our guidance on sharing research data. If you have any questions, email the Library’s Research Data Management team at rdm@sheffield.ac.uk.
