What file formats can be accepted?

Sage encourages authors to share research data using data and metadata formats and standards recognized by their research community. Please see FAIRsharing.org for more information on established data sharing formats and standards.

Research data should ideally be shared in open file formats – those that do not require proprietary software to access - where possible. For example, tabular data should be shared as CSV files rather than XLS files.

Please note that zip files can be hosted on the Figshare platform, but they will not appear in the Figshare widget which appears on Sage Journals. There will simply be a link to the zip file hosted on Figshare.
