Open-Science Policy Statement

Our project is dedicated to the principles of open science, which fosters transparency, accessibility, and collaboration within the global scientific community. As part of this commitment, we uphold a stringent policy against any form of embargo or restriction based on political or religious affiliations, as well as the geographical location of the requesting institutions. We recognize that the free and open exchange of scientific data is vital for the advancement of knowledge and innovation. Consequently, we do not tolerate any attempts to impose embargoes on scientific collaborations for reasons related to political, religious, or locational biases. Such practices are fundamentally opposed to the ethos of open science and undermine the collective efforts of researchers worldwide.

In alignment with this policy, any institution found to be in violation by attempting to impose such embargoes will be denied access to our shared datasets. We are committed to ensuring that our datasets remain freely accessible to all qualified researchers, thereby promoting equitable access to scientific resources and fostering an inclusive and collaborative research environment. By adhering to these principles, we strive to support a culture of openness, inclusivity, and ethical conduct in scientific research. Institutions are encouraged to align with these values to contribute to a thriving and dynamic scientific community.

DISCLAIMER:

"This project operates as an open-science enterprise and maintains a strict non-tolerance policy regarding any embargo based on political or religious affiliation, or the geographical location of the requesting institutions. Any institution found in violation of this open-science policy will be denied access to the shared datasets."
