DATA SUBMISSION PROCESS

ESS-DIVE stores “data packages,” which are best described as a collection of related data files and metadata. These may be data from a sensor or a network of sensors, data from a field campaign or experiment, software for analysis or modeling, model setup and results.

If you are storing data from a DOE ESS project, you can register as a new data contributor. Otherwise, you will need to request permission to store data on ESS-DIVE.

The ESS-DIVE Publication Process enables iterative curation, uploading, and updating of data and metadata. [Figure from Varadharajan C., et al., Eos 100. DOI: 10.1029/2019EO111263.]

How to Upload Data Using ESS-DIVE

  1. Organize the data package, and upload it to the repository via the ESS-DIVE Data Portal or automated scripts using the ESS-DIVE Package Service API.
  2. Specify package metadata, including author and citation information, and links to publications or related data packages, and submit the data package. This information can be updated at a later date.
  3. Review the data package to see how it will appear on the data portal before requesting publication. View the Automated Quality Report to ensure that the metadata meet the ESS-DIVE publication criteria. Upon completion, request to Publish the data package.
  4. The ESS-DIVE team will review the data package and assign a digital object identifier upon acceptance for publication. Requests can also be made to reserve a DOI prior to data publication.
  5. Published data packages can be revised as needed.
