U.S. GLOBEC Data Acknowledgement Policy
It is not ethical to publish data without proper attribution or
co-authorship. The data are the intellectual property of the collecting
investigator(s).

The intellectual investment and time committed to the collection of a data
set entitles the investigator to the fundamental benefits of the data set.
Publication of descriptive or interpretive results derived immediately and
directly from the data is the privilege and responsibility of the
investigators who collect the data.

The purpose of a data archive is to facilitate collaboration between
scientists, the combination of multiple data sets for interdisciplinary and
comparative studies, and the development and testing of new theories. The
data contained in this system are made available even though they may not
be "final" (i.e. error free) data. This is dictated by and consistent with
U.S. GLOBEC's data policy, Report #10 available on-line in Web format and
PDF format.

Any person making substantial use of a data set must communicate with the
investigators who acquired the data prior to publication and anticipate
that the data collectors will be co-authors of published results. This
extends to model results and to data organized for retrospective studies.

The data available here are intended for scholarly use by the academic and
scientific community, with the express understanding that any such use will
properly acknowledge the originating investigator. Use or reproduction of
any material herein for any commercial purpose is prohibited without prior
written permission from the U.S. GLOBEC Data Management Office.
