Study Creation

Study Overview

Creating a study makes a space in the portal for others to download and interact with you study. This is a great way to support the exploration of a publication by others as well as easily creating a web presence for your science (a url is created you can reference in your publication). Data can be added to the study allowing collaborators to download and reproduce analysis.

Study and Data Permissions

A study can be set to private or public. Data can be private, public, or embargoed. These permissions are under the control of the owner of the study.

Private Studies A private study (and associated data) can not be seen by anyone who has not been given access to the study by the authors.

Public Studies A public study (and associated data) can be seen by and downloaded by anyone visiting the site.

Embargoed Data. Public studies can have associated public data which can be downloaded by anyone or data under "embargo". Data embargo allows the author of a study to allow others to see data exists to download but not allow download to occur. Embargo is useful when a publication is under review and the author wants to show reviewers that data will be shared but is not comfortable with data being shared until the publication is accepted. Data can not be set to be in embargo indefinitely; a date is selected after which data automatically is downloadable.
