Design/methodology/approach- The study analysed the instructions for authors of LIS journals indexed in the ISI Journal Citation Reports, as well as the supplementary materials attached to the articles published in their 2011 online volumes. Findings- Large publishers are more likely to have a policy regarding the publication of supplementary materials, and policies are usually homogeneous across all the journals of a given publisher. Most policies state the acceptance of supplementary materials, and even journals without a policy also publish supplementary materials. The majority of supplementary materials provided in LIS articles are extended methodological explanations and additional results in the form of textual information in PDF or Word files. Some toll-access journals provide open access to any reader to these files. Originality/value- This study provides new insights into the characteristics of supplementary materials in LIS journals. The results may be used by journal publishers to establish a policy on the publication of supplementary materials and, more broadly, to develop data sharing initiatives in academic settings.Emerald2013info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/53993Articles publicats en revistes (Biblioteconomia, Documentació i Comunicació Audiovisual)reponame:Dipòsit Digital de la UBinstname:Universidad de BarcelonaInglésVersió postprint del document publicat a: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/AP-10-2012-0083Aslib Proceedings, 2013, vol. 65, num. 5, p. 503-514http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/AP-10-2012-0083(c) Emerald, 2013info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:diposit.ub.edu:2445/539932026-05-27T06:46:51Z
