NEW! 

In October 2011, the BEST and the BSIERP data archives were merged into the new Bering Sea Project Data Archive at http://beringsea.eol.ucar.edu/. 

Data and metadata in the combined database can now be accessed through a single search tool and listed in tables by cruise or subject category, as well as by either BEST or BSIERP project affiliation, or both. Choosing BEST and BSIERP, but not limiting selection by either cruise or subject, will list all data sets in the Bering Sea Project Data Archive.  The data tables have been organized alphabetically by lead PI's last name. The project, date of creation or last update, and a link to the dataset documentation are included in the table. You can click the data set titles to view a description of the data set description and order the data.

For finding and ordering both BEST and BSIERP data, the place to start is the Bering Sea Project Data Archive at http://beringsea.eol.ucar.edu/

Contact the data manager, Don Stott at NCAR/EOL [stott (at) ucar (dot) edu], with questions or for more information.

 

Data Sharing

The data policy that all BEST-BSIERP PIs agreed to stipulates that you submit your data and accompanying metadata to the data managers within one year of collection. You can view the full text of the policy here.

But we want to re-emphasize the intent of centralizing data and making it accessible to other BEST-BSIERP participants. The intent is to allow colleagues to learn more about other participants’ data, to evaluate the data and begin thinking about how the data could be collaboratively used.

However, if you move beyond that stage and want to actually use other investigators' data for any publication, you must have explicit written permission from the investigator who collected the data prior to circulation of draft manuscripts or results that include the data. And that permission should be requested at an early stage in your analysis, to give your colleagues every opportunity for collaboration and participation in the analysis and publication process.

We want all BEST-BSIERP participants to feel comfortable sharing their data per the data policy. We see this as a critical factor in our mutual goal of achieving integration across project components. The BEST and BSIERP data managers are ready to support you and make this process as painless as possible.

If for any reason you are not comfortable with the data policy, or if you have suggestions to improve the data management support, please raise the issue with members of the Science Advisory Board or the Program Manager. We will get out of this project only what we are all willing to put into it.
