OSB Shear wall nailing

Are the Shear wall tables directly applicable to plywood and OSB and where can this association be found in the code or other documents.  IBC 2306.4.1 says structural panel sheathing.  Does “structural panel sheathing” indicate both plywood and OSB?  It has been a very long time since I have been asked this and I am going to have to explain. 

 

Buddy, are you out there?

Thanks again,

Joe
