Data
KBS LTAR data is openly available, managed by FAIR data curation principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets). Published data may be freely used with attribution.
Data, both published and unpublished, are hosted on the LTER Data Catalog, and published data may also appear in public repositories such as DataDryad.org. The use of unpublished data requires written permission of the lead investigator or project director in order to preserve the lead investigator’s rights to first publication, as well as to ensure that data users are aware of the limitations that may be associated with any specific data set.
All investigators working on site are expected to release their data to the core database upon publication.
Archived LTAR samples (e.g. soil and plant collections) are available on a more restrictive basis depending on the amount of material requested vs. the amount archived and their expected value to the long-term goals of the Project.Access to data is provided by the KBS LTER Data Manager with oversight provided by the Project Director. Access to sample archives is provided by the Project Director. All publications of KBS data and images must acknowledge KBS LTAR support.
