The landscape of scientific publishing is experiencing a transformative shift toward open access, a paradigm that mandates the availability of research outputs such as data, code, materials, and publications. Open access provides increased reproducibility and allows for reuse of these resources. This article provides guidance for best publishing practices of scientific research, data, and associated resources, including code, in The American Phytopathological Society journals. Key areas such as diagnostic assays, experimental design, data sharing, and code deposition are explored in detail. This guidance aligns with that observed by other leading journals. We hope the information assembled in this paper will raise awareness of best practices and enable greater appraisal of the true effects of biological phenomena in plant pathology.
科学出版领域正在经历一场向开放获取的变革性转变,这一范式要求研究成果(如数据、代码、材料和出版物)可供获取。开放获取提高了可重复性,并允许对这些资源进行再利用。本文为美国植物病理学会期刊中科学研究、数据及相关资源(包括代码)的最佳出版实践提供指导。详细探讨了诊断分析、实验设计、数据共享和代码存档等关键领域。本指导与其他领先期刊所遵循的指导一致。我们希望本文汇总的信息能提高对最佳实践的认识,并有助于更全面地评估植物病理学中生物现象的真实影响。
