A further step towards Open Data in Annals of Forest Science

"We do believe that these steps in favour of open data are decisive for our journal (as for may others engaged in similar policies with different publishers). They should dramatically increase the quality of published material. Type 3 policy has the great advantage of avoiding the use of  strongly binding obligations and to leave authors the choice to make data available or not. We will check how this new and explicit data policy will incite the authors to be more pro-active in making their data available for checks and re-use."
