Data Release Instructions

This workflow is intended for USGS authors who are publishing data through ScienceBase.

Instructions for revising public data releases in ScienceBase.

Dynamic data release can facilitate continuous collection, processing, quality control, and publication of data. It requires that the data, metadata, and all processing steps be reviewed and approved prior to the initial release.

Deep storage data releases in ScienceBase enable USGS researchers to release large volumes of data that may not be feasible or cost-effective to release through traditional publishing paths.
