Editorial commentary
Data availability statements come in conventional categories: 'publicly available', 'available on request', 'restricted', 'cannot be shared'. Studies of statement enforcement (e.g., Gabelica et al., 2022) find low rates of actual data delivery against 'on request' statements; journals are increasingly tightening verification.
