Peer reviewed open access journal
Scope Alignment
Negative results, null findings, replication studies, methodological transparency, and reproducibility across disciplines. We prioritize rigorous reporting and complete outcomes.
Publishing Model
Open access, single blind peer review, and rapid publication after acceptance and production checks. Metadata validation and DOI registration are included.
IJNR supports open, responsible data sharing for negative results and replication studies. Authors should deposit data and code in trusted repositories when possible, with clear access instructions.
We recognize that some datasets require controlled access due to privacy, consent, or regulatory constraints. Authors should document restrictions and access pathways.
- General data repositories such as Zenodo, Figshare, or Dryad
- Clinical and cohort datasets with controlled access and data use agreements
- Genomics and transcriptomics repositories such as GEO or ArrayExpress
- Proteomics repositories such as ProteomeXchange
- Code repositories such as GitHub or GitLab with release tags
Patient identifiers must be removed and data should be deidentified in line with applicable privacy regulations. When full sharing is not possible, provide deidentified summaries and clear instructions for requesting access.
Authors should document data governance, including data custodians, access review procedures, and consent limits.
- Include repository links or accession numbers in the manuscript
- State licensing terms for data and code when applicable
- Provide documentation for custom scripts or pipelines
- Describe any access restrictions and approval requirements
| Data Type | Preferred Formats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical datasets | CSV, TSV | Include data dictionaries |
| Imaging data | DICOM, NIfTI | Provide acquisition protocols |
| Genomics/omics | FASTQ, BAM, VCF | Include pipeline details |
| Code and scripts | TXT, R, PY | Provide version notes |
- Dataset metadata complete and consistent
- Repository accession numbers included
- Code and pipelines documented
- Ethics approvals and permits referenced
- Access restrictions clearly stated
- State whether datasets are deidentified and compliant with privacy regulations.
- Provide repository DOIs or accession numbers for deposited datasets.
Can I embargo data?
Yes. Provide embargo details and expected release dates.
What if data are proprietary?
Explain restrictions and provide access request steps.
Is code sharing required?
We strongly encourage code sharing or detailed documentation.
IJNR is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing of negative, null, and inconclusive results. We emphasize reproducible methods, full outcome reporting, and ethical compliance across all article types.
The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].
We encourage complete reporting, data availability, and candid discussion of limitations to strengthen the research record.
