DATA SHARING POLICY

This policy explains how the authors of Jurnal Manajemen Informatika dan Bisnis Digital make their data and supporting materials available, and how they protect the people who take part in their research.

Research in informatics, management, and digital business often involves users, customers, employees, organizations, and digital records. Openness must therefore be balanced against the protection of participants.

Data Sharing at a Glance

Item	Policy of JUMINTAL
Policy basis	Data are shared upon reasonable request.
Data Availability Statement	Required for every research article.
Location of the statement	The Acknowledgements section of the manuscript.
Deposit in a repository	Not mandatory, but encouraged when it is ethically appropriate.
Sharing data about participants	Allowed only if sharing is ethical, if the participants cannot be identified, and if their consent permits it.
Peer review of data	None. Authors are responsible for the soundness of their data.

1Policy Basis

By submitting a manuscript, authors agree to make the supporting data and materials available to other researchers when a reasonable request is made.

Authors judge whether a request is reasonable by considering its purpose and the protection of the participants.
This does not limit the rights of the editors. Authors must provide data to the editors during review, and after publication when an integrity concern is examined under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
Authors should keep their data for a reasonable period after publication.

2Data Availability Statement

Every research article must include a Data Availability Statement. The article template has no separate section for it, so write the statement in the Acknowledgements, before the competing interests statement and the funding statement, which remain the final paragraphs (see Conflicts of Interest).

The statement should cover three points.

No.	The statement should say
1	Whether the supporting data and materials are available.
2	Where and how they can be obtained, for example in a repository that assigns a persistent identifier, in supplementary files, or by contacting the corresponding author.
3	If the data cannot be shared, the reason, such as the protection of participants, the conditions of consent, or restrictions of an institution or organization.

Sample statements

Situation	Sample statement
Available on request	An anonymized dataset is available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
Deposited in a repository	The dataset and the research instruments are available in [name of the repository] at [DOI or persistent link].
Not available	The interview recordings and transcripts cannot be shared because the participants did not consent to their release and could be identified. The interview guide is provided as supplementary material.
Included in the article	All data that support the findings are presented in the article.

3Citing Data

Authors must cite every dataset that they use or refer to. This includes their own deposited datasets and data from third parties.
Dataset citations belong in the reference list, in the format of the journal that is described in the Manuscript Preparation guidelines. Include a DOI or another persistent link where one exists.
For data from external sources, such as national or regional statistics, organizational records, or existing databases, name the source and describe the conditions of access.

4Ethical Limits and Protection of Participants

Data should be shared only when sharing is ethically appropriate. Authors do not have to share data when sharing would breach the protections for human participants or would raise ethical, privacy, or security concerns.

Authors must honor the consent that the participants gave. When the participants are minors, extra care is needed: the permission of the parents or guardians, and of the institution involved, must cover how the data are used and shared.

The table below gives guidance for each type of data.

Type of data	How to handle it
Questionnaire responses, test results, and transaction or usage records	Share anonymized data. Remove names, identification numbers, and other direct identifiers. Check whether small groups, rare traits, or combinations of attributes, such as organization, department, position, and age, could still identify someone.
Interviews, focus groups, and recordings	Usually not shared in full. Share anonymized excerpts, the coding scheme, or the interview guide instead. Share recordings only with the clear consent of the participants.
Research instruments	Questionnaires, interview guides, observation sheets, scoring rubrics, and test scenarios are encouraged as supplementary material, if the authors hold the rights to publish them. For third party material, see Section 4.1 of the Licensing page.
Analysis scripts, source code, and software	Sharing is encouraged, so that others can verify and repeat the analysis.
Data collected from websites, social media, or other digital platforms	Share only in line with the terms of the platform and with the protection of privacy. Remove user names, account handles, and other identifiers.
Data about organizations and individuals	Share only if the companies, institutions, or individuals cannot be identified, or if they have agreed to be named.

Data about participants must always be kept confidential, as required by Publication Ethics. Authors must not upload personal or identifiable data of participants to generative AI tools, except under the narrow conditions that are set out in the Generative AI Policies.

5Repositories and Licenses for Data

Authors are encouraged to deposit data that can be shared in a trusted repository that assigns a persistent identifier, such as a DOI. Deposit is not required. Examples of suitable repositories are the following.

Zenodo Open Science Framework Figshare Mendeley Data Institutional repositories

Deposited data should carry a clear license, so that those who reuse the data know the terms.

Note. The CC BY 4.0 license of the journal covers only the published article. It does not cover datasets that are held elsewhere. See the Licensing page.

6Information at Submission

Authors state whether a dataset is associated with the manuscript. If it is, they provide a DOI, a preregistered DOI, a hyperlink, or another persistent identifier.
This information is entered in the comments to the editor on the submission form, and it is repeated in the Data Availability Statement of the manuscript.
Authors who give a preregistered DOI must be ready to supply the reviewer URL of the deposit when reviewers ask for it.
Supplementary files are uploaded together with the manuscript.

7Review and Responsibility

Datasets are not formally peer reviewed. Authors are responsible for the soundness of their data, and errors in the data rest with those who produced them.
Reviewers may request the data or the materials that are needed to evaluate the manuscript.
A significant error in the data that is found after publication is handled under the Correction and Retraction policy.

Consequences of noncompliance

A false Data Availability Statement, or the withholding of data without a legitimate reason when the editors ask for it, may be handled under the Allegations of Misconduct policy.
