Data Sharing Policy

The Journal of Operation and Automation in Power Engineering (JOAPE) adopts a Basic Data Sharing Policy to foster transparency and facilitate research reproducibility. We encourage authors to share their research data, including raw and processed data, software, algorithms, protocols, methods, and materials, provided this does not compromise human subjects' privacy or violate other legitimate security concerns.

During submission, authors must declare the presence of associated datasets and provide the DOI or hyperlink. It's essential to note that datasets associated with a manuscript are not peer-reviewed as part of JOAPE's submission process, and authors bear responsibility for data accuracy.

Exceptions to this policy may apply in cases where proprietary data or participant privacy concerns prevent data sharing. Such exceptions are granted based on human privacy protection, biosafety, or license terms from third-party data providers. Authors handling confidential data must anonymize it or secure prior sharing permissions from their institution's ethics committee.

For transparency, authors should include a data accessibility statement with a repository link, which will be published alongside the article. Examples of such statements are provided for guidance:
