Description
Summary:[...]PLOS posted a revised Data Policy for comment on December 12, 2013 [2], and we are implementing the policy (Box 1) as of March 1, 2014. In the case of a primary dataset that was not originally generated by the authors of the submitted manuscript, appropriate data sharing may require that interested researchers obtain third-party data independently from the named original source.\n If ethical barriers prevent complete data release, authors should adhere to the guidelines noted in the Data Policy, which requires authors to identify a named ethics or data access committee, or other equivalent group, that can provide access.
