In cases where editors are unable to resolve a complaint, the journal reserves the right to refer the correspondence to the author's funding institution and/or to publish a statement of formal correction, linked to the publication, that readers have been unable to obtain necessary materials or reagents to replicate the findings. |
. | Science | http://www.sciencemag.org/about/authors/prep/gen_info.dtl#datadep | all data necessary to understand, assess, and extend the conclusions of the manuscript must be available to any reader of Science. Large data sets (including microarray data, protein or DNA sequences, and atomic coordinates or electron microscopy maps for macromolecular structures). Atomic coordinates and structure factor files from x-ray structural studies or an ensemble of atomic coordinates from NMR structural studies must be deposited and released at the time of publication. Three-dimensional maps derived by electron microscopy and coordinate data derived from these maps | Large data sets must be deposited in an approved database and an accession number provided for inclusion in the published paper. Large data sets with no appropriate approved repository must be housed as supporting online material at Science, or when this is not possible, on the author's web site, provided a copy of the data is held in escrow at Science | Approved databases: Worldwide Protein Data Bank ; Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics, Macromolecular Structure Database (MSD EMBL-EBI), or Protein Data Bank Japan], BioMag Res Bank, and Electron Microscopy Data Bank (MSD-EBI), Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
