A designated magical index omnibus is a collection of texts that serves as a comprehensive reference guide to the world of magic. It is a compilation of spells, enchantments, potions, and magical practices from various cultures and time periods. The main idea behind a designated magical index omnibus is to provide a central resource for anyone interested in learning about and practicing magic. The index contains detailed descriptions of each spell or enchantment, including its origins, ingredients, and proper usage. It also includes illustrations, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions to help the reader understand and perform the magic. The texts are organized in a logical and accessible manner, making it easy to navigate and find the desired information.
Authors must deposit their data to a data repository as part of the manuscript submission process; manuscripts will not otherwise be sent for review. If data have not been deposited to a repository prior to manuscript submission we offer a service to deposit them at figshare or dryad during the submission process via our article submission platform. Data may also be deposited to these resources temporarily, if the main host repository does not support confidential peer review (see below).

The texts are organized in a logical and accessible manner, making it easy to navigate and find the desired information. One of the main purposes of a designated magical index omnibus is to preserve and share magical knowledge. Magic has a long history, and many of the ancient techniques and practices have been lost or forgotten over time.
Data Repository Guidance
Scientific Data mandates the release of datasets accompanying our Data Descriptors, but we do not ourselves host data. Instead, we ask authors to submit datasets to an appropriate public data repository. Data should be submitted to discipline-specific, community-recognized repositories where possible. Where a suitable discipline-specific resource does not exist, data should be submitted to a generalist repository.

Data may also be deposited to these resources temporarily, if the main host repository does not support confidential peer review (see below).
Repositories need to meet our requirements for anonymous peer-review, data access, preservation, resource stability, licences and suitability for use by all researchers with the appropriate types of data:
- Use open licences (CC0 and CC-BY, or their equivalents, are required in most cases learn more). Exceptions will only be permitted for human derived data that is considered sensitive (e.g. risk of participant identification, controls on specific uses, etc), where we suggest data are shared under Data Usage Agreements (DUAs). We do not typically support the use of more restrictive CC licences - containing SA, NC or ND clauses - for either sensitive or non-sensitive datasets, other than where applied to third party data that has been re-used and the original licence needs to be retained.
- Allow public access to data without barriers, such as formal application processes, unless required for sensitive human datasets requiring controlled access and Data Usage Agreements. Note that basic login functionalities, where data are captured for analytics purposes only, are accepted for non-sensitive datasets as long as immediate access is granted to the holder of the email address without manual checks, however we encourage login-free https access without registration in most cases.
- All data need to be available for peer review. Where logins or other barriers are required or temporarily applied, routes for confidential peer review of submitted datasets need to be provided that do not reveal the identity of the reviewer to the data owner/author of the associated article. Please consult with the repository to arrange this, or provide the data in a temporary location for peer review.
- Ensure long-term persistence and preservation of datasets in their published form. All Data Descriptors need to be associated with live data, so long term preservation and persistence is required to avoid future correction or other action to ensure the integrity of the paper.
- Provide stable persistent identifiers for submitted datasets. DOIs are the default for most non-omics datasets described in the journal.
- Subject specific repositories that are supported and recognized within their scientific community are strongly encouraged - general repositories should be used where no suitable subject repository is available, or the repository does not meet the requirements above.
The list below is intended as a guide for those who are unsure where to deposit their data, and provides examples of repositories from a number of disciplines. Please note this list does not constitute a formal or exclusive list of repositories accepted by the journal and there are many more repositories that meet our criteria than we are able to track. The list is no longer updated (since 2021), but is retained as a useful list of suggestions.
Authors may also wish to use external resources such as DataCite’s Repository Finder and the FAIRsharing registry to find an appropriate repository for their data.
Please note that certain data types (e.g. most omics and cystallographic data) are subject to mandates on which repository should be used. Please see our policy on mandated data types for further informaton.
