Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: DaiWai Olson examines what editors can reasonably ask authors to attest about research data. Distinguishing access from personal verification, he traces evolving guidance on accountability and explains why transparency, stewardship, and investigation of concerns offer meaningful assurance without requiring authors to guarantee the accuracy of every datum in a study.
