Sumario:[EN] Sharing research data is an increasingly necessary requirement for the advancement of science. The aim of this study was to analyse the policies on openness in sharing scientific research data in substance abuse journals. Journals included in the Substance abuse area of the Journal Citation Reports were used for the analysis, with reference to the instructions to authors published on the journals websites. In 67.6% of the journals, it is possible to store materials in thematic or institutional repositories; 47% accept supplemental material; 64.7% allow the reuse of data, and 41.2% admit the publication of their data on a website. Most journals recommend that authors deposit their data in a repository, but they do not provide clear instructions for doing so. No association was found between the value of a journal s impact factor and the storage and reuse. PubMed Central is the repository primarily suggested for deposit.
