Domain-Discipline Repositories Useful to AGU Journals

The data that supports the research reported in your paper must be deposited in a community-accepted, trusted preservation repository. Additionally, authors should make available software that has a significant impact on the research. A repository that specializes in dommain-discipline specific data and software will maximize the probability that the deposited data and software will be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). Repsoitories that use persistent identifier links (e.g. DOI or digital object identifier over URLs (and not to the home page) are recommended. Note, an English language translation is necessary in order for the data/software to be accessible to the wider community. Domain-discipline repositories useful to AGU journals below may also be at different stages in supporting the FAIR principles. For any additional domain-discipline repositories recommendations, contact datahelp@agu.org or submit a GitHub issue/pull request. Otherwise, look to your institutional repository, your computing center, a general repository (e.g., Zenodo, Dryad, figshare), or search for a repository using re3data, OpenAire, or DataOne. Consult Data and Software for Authors and Data and Software Sharing Guidance for Authors Submitting to AGU Journals for more in-depth guidance.

The following is a list developed with AGU community members of useful repositories by journal:

Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC)
Archive for rock magnetic, geomagnetic, archeomagnetic (archaeomagnetic) and paleomagnetic (palaeomagnetic) data. 1.) It is recommended that you reach out to the MagIC team (data.curator@earthref.org) in advance (~3 months) to work out the details of your data workflow and upload. The team can work with you to develop or leverage existing scripts to translate other data formats into the MagIC format. 2.) Uploading summary data (as found in tables in a paper), for instance measurement data, is highly recommended for AGU journals and can take less time to upload. 3.) Once your data have been uploaded to your private workspace in MagIC and is ready for publication, MagIC will require a DOI for your paper. Your data will not be made public until the paper has been published. This sequence of events, ensures the data are linked to your paper accurately by both AGU and MagIC. In your private workspace, you will see what the data DOI will be and this DOI is what you should put in your paper’s reference list for the data citation and in the availability statement. 4.) Your data should be uploaded in its final form before the paper is sent to reviewers; they need to access the data along with your paper. MagIC has a “share link” feature which allows you to share the data from one of your private data sets with colleagues, editors and reviewers. People accessing your data via the private “share link” are anonymous. MagIC does not store the identities of who accesses the data via shared links and keeps any IP addresses associated with accessing private data confidential. 5.) The data DOI link from MagIC should be activated by the author at the time the paper is published. Depending on the journal, there may be some delay between when the paper is published and when MagIC is alerted. The paper metadata must be available to MagIC before the author can activate the data DOI. In the event that an author fails to make their data public, MagIC will make reasonable efforts to encourage the author to do so, but reserves the right to make public the data associated with the published paper. Authors are encouraged to correct any errors or mistakes in the dataset after publishing. Datasets are versioned and the original dataset that was published with the paper will still be available by others. Link(s): FAQ/Help

Seismic Data
Papers that rely on seismic data must document the availability of both the raw waveform data and processed data products (for example, receiver functions, shear wave splitting measurements, surface wave dispersion curves, tomographic models, etc.). It is the expectation that raw waveform data underlying papers in G-cubed will be made publicly available via the IRIS Data Management system (described below) or another similar repository. If the data are not available in such a repository, then the authors should make the waveforms used in the study available via a general repository such as Zenodo.

In cases where the waveform data are under embargo (that is, in a period of proprietary use), the data must be made available for the peer review process and the embargo must be removed with the data fully available at the time the paper is accepted. In cases in which there are governmental or other restrictions that do not allow for sharing of the raw waveform data, editors will work with authors to decide on a case by case basis whether the paper can meet the AGU data availability requirements. Papers for which some or all of the raw waveform data are not available must explicitly state that the data are not publicly available in the Data Availability statement. In this case, the editors will determine if the paper meets AGU data availability requirements and can be accepted.
