Hi team,



hope all are doing well.



As we are moving into the high-volume paper writing phase, I just want to
remind you all about some basic rules of ethics that EXPORTS as a project
is striving towards. This is not NASA's formal policy. What NASA's formal
policy is that you should submit your data within a year of collection, but
Inia has probably told you that couple of times before (still - read the
whole email)

 Basic rules of EXPORTS ethics

·        It is not ethical to publish data without offering co-authorship
or, if the invitation is declined, to provide proper attribution (to the
investigator, funding source, and grant number).

·        While observational data and numerical results should be shared
freely among EXPORTS participants, the intellectual investment and time
committed to the collection of a data set entitles the investigator to the
fundamental benefits of the data set.

·        Investigators are expected to communicate their analysis plans
widely within the program and, where conflicts exist, develop plans for
collaboration.

·        Any person making use of EXPORTS observational data and/or
numerical results should communicate with the responsible investigators at
the start of the analysis and anticipate that the data collectors will be
co-authors of published results.

·        Student projects (thesis and dissertation research) should be
identified as early as possible and shared with all EXPORTS investigators.
All EXPORTS investigators should strive to protect the interests of these
projects.

·        In cases where investigators choose not to be co-authors on
publications that rely on their data, the data sets should be formally
cited (SeaBASS) and the responsible parties and funding agencies with the
appropriate grant numbers acknowledged.

·        EXPORTS investigators are expected to make preliminary data and
results freely available to other participants within 6 months of
collection.

As we are going forward, I URGE you to communicate with your project
colleagues, not just if you plan to use their data, but also if they reach
out to you - to use your data. Answer those emails, keep the exchange and
communication going. That is the only way this will happen.

Also – let me remind you that the world of the law is :

·        Following the NASA Earth Science Data and Information Policy, all
SeaBASS data are publicly available.

·        Original contributor(s) should be extended authorship rights until
the 3-year data collection anniversary.

We have just surpassed our 3-year collection anniversary, hence please – be
ethical and responsive.



Thank you
