DATA SHARING POLICY

This policy explains how authors of Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Bidang Sains dan Teknologi, abbreviated as ABDIKAN, make their data and materials available, and how they protect the people who take part in community service activities.

Openness about data must always be balanced with the protection of participants, partners, and communities. The journal is published by Yayasan Literasi Sains Indonesia.

Data Sharing at a Glance
Policy basis	Share upon reasonable request.
Data Availability Statement	Required for every research article.
Where the statement goes	In the Acknowledgements (Ucapan Terima Kasih) of the manuscript.
Deposit in a repository	Not required, but encouraged when it is ethically appropriate.
Data about people	Shared only when it is ethical, when nobody can be identified, and when consent allows it.
Peer review of data	No. The authors are responsible for the soundness of their data.

1Policy Basis

Authors agree to share the data and materials that support their article with other researchers who ask for them in a reasonable way. The authors judge what is reasonable, taking into account the purpose of the request and the protection of the people who took part.

The rights of the editors remain. Authors provide the data to the editors when they are asked to do so during the review, or after publication when a concern about integrity is examined.

Retention. Authors keep their data for a reasonable period after publication.

2Data Availability Statement

Every research article needs a Data Availability Statement. It is written in the Acknowledgements (Ucapan Terima Kasih), which is the last subheading of the Closing section (D. PENUTUP) of the template, together with the funding statement and the statement on competing interests. The statement should cover the following points.

No.	The statement says
1	Whether the data and materials that support the article are available.
2	Where and how they can be obtained, for example in a repository with a persistent identifier, in supplementary files, or from the corresponding author.
3	If the data are not shared, the reason, for example the protection of participants, the conditions of consent, or restrictions set by a partner or an institution.

Examples of Wording

Situation	Example statement
Available on request	The data that support the findings of this community service activity are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
Deposited in a repository	The anonymized dataset is available in [name of the repository] at [DOI or link].
Not available	The data are not publicly available because they contain personal information of the participants and the consent of the participants does not allow sharing.
Included in the article	All data that support the findings are included in the article and its supplementary files.

3Citing Data

Authors cite the datasets that they use or refer to, including datasets that they created themselves, datasets that they deposited, and datasets that belong to third parties. Dataset citations are added to the reference list in the style described in Manuscript Preparation, with a DOI or a persistent link when one exists. When data come from another source, for example official statistics, records of a partner or of a village office, or a database, the authors name the source and explain the conditions of access.

4Ethical Limits and Protection of Participants

Data should be shared only when sharing is ethically appropriate. Sharing is not required when it would breach the protection of the people who took part, or when it would raise concerns about privacy, ethics, or security. Authors respect the consent that was given. When children or other vulnerable people are involved, the parents or guardians, and where relevant the school or institution, must agree to the way in which the data are used and shared.

Type of data	How it is handled
Pretest and posttest scores, questionnaires, and satisfaction surveys	Share in anonymized form. Remove names, identity numbers, and other direct identifiers. Check whether a small group, or a combination such as the village, the group, and the age, could identify a person.
Interviews, focus group discussions, and recordings of activities	Usually not shared in full. Share anonymized excerpts, the coding scheme, or the interview guide. Share recordings only when the participants have clearly consented.
Photographs and videos	Share only with the consent of the people who can be recognized, as described in Publication Ethics.
Data of partners and communities	Records of a partner organization, a village office, or a small business are shared only when the partner agrees and when the partner cannot be identified, unless the partner agreed to be named.
Measurements and technical data	Sharing is encouraged, for example sensor readings, laboratory results, or test results of a prototype, together with the units, the method, and the conditions of measurement.
Instruments and training materials	Modules, training guides, leaflets, questionnaires, tests, observation sheets, and scoring rubrics are encouraged as supplementary material when the authors hold the right to publish them. Please see the Licensing page on third party material.
Analysis scripts and software	Sharing is encouraged, because it helps others to verify and to repeat the work.

Confidentiality and AI tools. Personal data of the participants stay confidential, as required by Publication Ethics. Authors must not upload personal or identifiable data of partners, participants, or community members to a generative AI tool. Please see the Generative AI Policies.

5Repositories and Licenses

The journal encourages authors to deposit data that can be shared in a trusted repository that gives a persistent identifier, such as a DOI. Deposit is not mandatory. Examples of such repositories are listed below.

No.	Example of a repository
1	Zenodo
2	Open Science Framework
3	Figshare
4	Mendeley Data
5	The repository of the institution of the authors

Authors should attach a clear license to the data that they deposit, so that others know the terms of reuse. The CC BY 4.0 license of the journal covers the published article only. It does not cover datasets that are kept elsewhere. Please see the Licensing page.

6Information at Submission

When authors submit a manuscript, they should do the following.

No.	Step
1	State whether a dataset is connected with the manuscript.
2	If there is one, give its DOI, link, or other persistent identifier. Write this in the editor comments field of the submission form, and in the Data Availability Statement of the manuscript.
3	Upload supplementary files together with the manuscript.

7Review and Responsibility

Datasets are not formally peer reviewed as part of the review of a manuscript. The authors are responsible for the soundness of their data, and reviewers may ask for access to it. If a significant error in the data is found after publication, the journal handles it under the Correction and Retraction policy. A false Data Availability Statement, or the withholding of data without a good reason when the editors ask for it, may be handled under the procedure for Allegations of Misconduct.
