agsy-reproducibility-and-data-policy

Use when preparing the data, code, and model materials for an Agricultural Systems (AgSy) manuscript. AgSy applies Elsevier's research-data policy, which treats software, code, and models as research data — deposit them in a repository and cite/link them, or state why they cannot be shared. Covers model-description standards and exemptions. Prepares the materials; it does not waive requirements.

# Reproducibility & Data Policy (agsy-reproducibility-and-data-policy)

AgSy is a modelling journal, so reproducibility is not just about data — it is about whether someone
else could **re-run or re-implement your model**. Elsevier's research-data policy explicitly counts
**software, code, models, algorithms, protocols, and methods** as research data. Build the package as
you go so submission and revision do not stall. The 2026-06-20 Guide for Authors refresh says
Agricultural Systems applies **Option C**: deposit research data, cite and link it, or state why
sharing is not possible.

## When to trigger

- Building the data + code + model materials for submission
- Writing the data-availability statement
- Data, code, or the model cannot be fully shared (licence, privacy, proprietary model) and you need
