Abstract
The ORNL DAAC manages scientific data in order to make these data accessible and useful to researchers, today and tomorrow. This document outlines our data publication policies and standards. The content here is a guide for data providers and authors of data.
There are many benefits to publishing your data in an open data repository. You get credit for archived data products and their subsequent use. The DAAC's process of QA and documentation adds value and may catch errors in your data. Collaborators can readily understand and use your data both in the near future and in the long-term. Sponsors protect their investment. And scientists outside your project can find, understand, and use your data to address broad questions.
