Abstract
Replication failure is no longer a fringe concern of methodologists; it is a structural problem that wastes research funding and erodes clinical confidence. This editorial sets out the position of Doctus Journal of Biomedical Sciences on data availability. From the current volume, original research submissions are asked to deposit underlying datasets and analysis scripts in a recognised repository at the point of acceptance, with a persistent identifier printed in the article. We discuss the legitimate exceptions - identifiable patient data, commercially restricted material and datasets governed by third-party agreements - and describe the controlled-access route available for each. Transparency is not a burden imposed on authors; it is the mechanism by which published work retains its value.
