Research data management
About Research Data
The journal Res novae follows the Decree on the Implementation of Scientific Research Work and the requirements of the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency, which stipulate that authors must ensure open access to the research data underlying their publication. Data must be prepared in accordance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).Research data include all information collected or generated through various research methods for the purpose of producing knowledge, testing or confirming hypotheses, and drawing conclusions within the research process. If data are not available in digital form, authors are encouraged to consider digitisation, as this facilitates long-term preservation and management in data repositories.
Greater openness of research data enhances the transparency and verifiability of scientific findings and increases their potential for reuse in future research, thereby improving the efficiency of previously invested resources.
