Can I login and enter data into the USGS ScienceBase before those data have been approved for release? [122]

By Office of Science Quality and Integrity

Yes. Users with restricted/private permissions may manage data in ScienceBase prior to formal release. [Read more]

Yes. Under the manage option in ScienceBase, users can enter data and keep the data private, that is, available only to them and others within the USGS. Data can be added to ScienceBase at any time and can be used as a resource during the data review process prior to release. Once the data are approved for release, the same manage option can be used to make the data public.
