[Open availability of articles and raw research data in Spanish pediatrics journals]

Abstract

Introduction: The open Access to publications and the raw data allows its re-use and enhances the advancement of science. The aim of this paper is to identify these practices in Spanish pediatrics journals.

Method: We reviewed the author's instructions in 13 Spanish pediatrics journals, identifying their open access and deposit policy.

Results: Eight journals allow open access without restriction, and 5 provide information on the ability to re-use and depositing data in repositories or websites.

Conclusions: Most of the journals have open access, but do not promote the deposit of additional material or articles in repositories or websites.
