Open Science and Data Sharing Policy
Open Access Statement
The NZMSJ is committed to increasing the reach and use of the articles we publish. Therefore, the NZMSJ is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or institution. The NZMSJ publishes under the Creative Commons Licence BY-NC 4.0. This allows anyone to immediately read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose as long as appropriate credit is given to the original author and it is not used for commercial purposes as stated in the CC BY-NC 4.0 license from Creative Commons.”Please ensure the following three items from all authors are declared in the NZMSJ manuscript cover sheet and manuscript submission.
Copyright
Under Creative Commons licences, authors retain full copyright, commercial and publishing rights without restrictions after publishing with NZMSJ, but NZMSJ does not consider articles which are simultaneously in submission with other journals, or have been published in full elsewhere. The journal will consider manuscripts which have been rejected by other journals, or have previously been published as provisional abstracts. Please note that publication of an article in the NZMSJ will likely preclude the work from also being published in other peer-reviewed journals.
Data Sharing Statement
NZMSJ recommends all authors include a data availability statement in the text of their manuscript, before the ‘References’ section. Where possible, authors are encouraged to make their data and other supporting materials openly available in a public repository. such as GitHub Where possible, a link to this repository will be published to increase ease of access to the relevant dataset. NZMSJ understands that not all data is able to be made public and therefore, when data cannot be shared, we encourage authors to include an explanation for this in their statement.
NZMSJ asks authors to include a statement confirming responsibility for the integrity of the data source. A recommended statement reads “I confirm I had full access to all of the data in this study, and I take complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.” This statement can be made upon submission of the manuscript to NZMSJ.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy:
NZMSJ acknowledges the emerging role of AI in Academia. NZMSJ asks that authors declare use of AI upon submission of their work. We also ask that the author provides information as to what extent AI has been used, including which sections the author utilised AI to write or develop. AI cannot be listed as an author on articles published by NZMSJ. NZMSJ reserves the right to refuse submission of work which utilises AI if the editorial board deem it inappropriate to publish
