Research data policy

The journal Proceedings of the Faculty of Economics of Brčko encourages authors to share research data that are required for confirming the results published in the manuscript and/or enhance the published manuscript under the principle ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary. The journal Proceedings of the Faculty of Economics of Brčko accepts supporting software applications, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound or video clips, large appendices, data tables and other relevant items that cannot be included in the article.

Authors may submit data along with the manuscript. In this case, the data will be made available to reviewers and published once the manuscript is accepted for publication online on the general-purpose data repository Zenodo. Each data file will be assigned a DOI, enabling the data to be cited the same way as cited publications. Note that these materials will not be copy-edited or typeset: their are not subject to proofreading and editorial processing, so their appearance and format is entirely the author's responsibility.

Exceptions: Openly sharing data may not always be feasible. Exceptions to open access to research data underlying publications include the following: obligation to protect results, confidentiality obligations, security obligations, the obligation to protect personal data and other legitimate constraints. Where open access is not provided to the data needed to validate the conclusions of a publication that reports original results, authors should provide the relevant access needed to validate the conclusions to the extent their legitimate interests or constraints are safeguarded.
