Data sharing has come of age. Long expected as a professional courtesy but rarely honored, data sharing is now highlighted in codes of ethics, supported by research communities, required by leading funding organizations, and variously encouraged and mandated by journals and even publishers. These developments reveal how sharing generates many benefits, all of which go to the integrity of the scientific process. Yet, sharing remains a complex phenomenon. This Editorial explains the journal's response to the publisher's mandate to establish an appropriate data sharing policy for the Journal of Youth and Adolescence. It describes the need to balance the benefits of sharing with its costs for authors publishing in multidisciplinary, developmental science journals like this one. For this journal and at this time, that balance leads us to err on the side of caution, which means supporting those who created their data and not coercing public sharing as a condition for publishing. This approach recognizes authors' reliance on a wide variety of data, the needs of differentially situated authors, the requirements of robust peer review, and the potential harms that can come from editors' unilateral sharing mandates.

Having found a business opportunity in exploiting the open access publishing model, predatory journals and publishers have been spamming authors with emails, inviting them to submit articles for publication. Authors may be misled by the names of prestigious authors and editors that predatory journals and publishers use to advertise their publishing services, either by claims that those scientists serve on the editorial boards or by sending invitations in their names. Given the fact that detailed knowledge of a journal is required to make an informed decision of whether the inviting journal is predatory or not, junior scientists are not likely to possess the knowledge or skill to make such decisions. In addition, analysis of the details of new suspicious journals and publishers can be a lengthy process or even a waste of time. Therefore, in this paper, we provide an analysis of a likely scenario that many authors are facing nowadays when they take on the difficult task of studying the details of suspicious journals as possible venues for the publication of their research findings. The analysis takes the form of an analysis of the Kenkyu Publishing Group, which is listed on Jeffrey Beall's list of 'predatory' open access publishers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the increasing globalisation of knowledge and management education, it is important that we build on our scanty understanding of trends and levels of geographic diversificationin editorial board membership of management journals. Our study examines geographic diversity in editorial boards in Management over a 20-yearperiod. it uses secondary data from 57 journals covering approximately 16,000 editorial board members. We found that the geographic diversity of editorial boards (EBs) has increased in the last 20years, but it is still low for most management journals. Further, two factors partly predict the geographic diversity of eBs of management journals: the editor's country of residence andthe field of research. Continued active management by editors, professional associations and individual academicsalike is necessary to ensure that our editorial boards properly reflect the diverse management community.
