科学出版的格局正在经历向开放获取(OA)的转型转变,一种要求提供数据等研究成果的范式,代码,材料,和出版物。OA提供增加的再现性并且允许这些资源的再利用。本文为科学研究的最佳出版实践提供了指导,数据,和相关资源,包括代码,在APS期刊上。关键领域,如诊断分析,实验设计,数据共享,和代码沉积进行了详细的探索。本指南与其他主要期刊观察到的指南一致。我们希望本文中收集的信息将提高人们对最佳实践的认识,并能够更好地评估生物学现象在植物病理学中的真实影响。
The landscape of scientific publishing is experiencing a transformative shift toward open access, a paradigm that mandates the availability of research outputs such as data, code, materials, and publications. Open access provides increased reproducibility and allows for reuse of these resources. This article provides guidance for best publishing practices of scientific research, data, and associated resources, including code, in The American Phytopathological Society journals. Key areas such as diagnostic assays, experimental design, data sharing, and code deposition are explored in detail. This guidance aligns with that observed by other leading journals. We hope the information assembled in this paper will raise awareness of best practices and enable greater appraisal of the true effects of biological phenomena in plant pathology.
