How do I use this service as a Sage journal author?

If available at the journal level, authors will have the option to upload their research data during submission to the individual journal SageTrack site. Authors have the option to upload their data at any submission or revision stage in the SageTrack site. Please choose ‘Research Data’ as a file type from the file upload options.

Please supply a title and description for all research data items supplied. These can be included in a separate word document upon submission. If a title and description is not supplied the following title and description will be used: Title – “[File name] – Research Data for [Article title]”; Description – “Research Data, [File name], for [Article Title] by [Author names] in [Journal Title]”. The title and description will appear on Sage Journals and also on the record in Figshare and will aid discoverability of the research data online.

If you have problems or concerns with uploading your research data to the Sage journal when you submit your manuscript, please contact the individual journal editorial office.

Research data files will be uploaded online on publication as supplied. They will not be checked for accuracy, copyedited, typeset, or proofread. The responsibility for scientific accuracy and file functionality remains with the authors. A disclaimer will be displayed to this effect with any material published. Sage does not provide technical support for the publication of research data.
