I am submitting to a double anonymize peer review journal, what do I do with my data?

Modified on Fri, 11 Oct at 12:39 PM

If the journal you are submitting to is double anonymize and requires links to the data to be shared at submission, the data should be deposited in a repository that preserves your anonymity by anonymizing the names of the authors. The data can then be viewed anonymously during the peer review process.


Figshare is a repository that can be used to generate a ‘private sharing link’ for free which can be sent via email, and which you can add to your manuscript. The recipient can then access that data without having a Figshare account, and this link anonymizes the data for reviewers. These links expire after one year and should not be cited in publications.
