[CIG-MC] AGU's new data policy

[Scott King]

AGU journals have a new data policy requiring that all the data from the work must be in a publicly accessible repository.  In general I think this is a good thing.   They provide several possible solutions.   From the editor letter…

"AGU requires that data needed to understand and build upon the published research be available in public repositories following best practices <http://publications.agu.org/author-resource-center/publication-policies/data-policy/data-policy-faq/>. This includes an explicit statement in the Acknowledgments section on where users can access or find the data for this paper. Citations to archived data should be included in your reference list and all references, including those cited in the supplement, should be included in the main reference list. All listed references must be available to the general reader by the time of acceptance.”

They list several possible repositories, none of which seem appropriate for 2.9 TB of CicomS results. Set aside the philosophical issue that model results are not “data” (they don’t accept that).   I have the output used in the published figures down to a reasonable size but. I’m curious what others are doing.  Has anyone else run into this yet?  (If not you will.)  I’m curious if there is a community consensus regarding a repository where all geodynamics results would/could end up, as opposed to ending up with them scattered across 3-4 (or more) potential repositories.  Maybe that’s not something to worry about, but since this is new and to me at least I’ve had no time to think it through, I’m curious what others are doing.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Scott
