Since 2024, more than 5,000 journals have adhered to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) Data Sharing Statement (DSS) to promote data sharing. However, due to the significant effort required for data sharing and the scarcity of academic rewards, data availability in clinical research remains suboptimal. This study aims to explore the impact of biomedical journal policies and available supporting information on the implementation of data availability in clinical research publications This cross-sectional study will select 303 journals and their latest publications as samples from the biomedical journ
