Contact [mailto:stefanie.schumacher@awi.de data librarian] with a request of a new project.

Policy: New projects are defined only, if PANGAEA is the designated data system and the project has a data management plan. PANGAEA should be mentioned as the official data archive on the projects webpages. Older projects might be defined if a significant number of data sets will be archived. Subproject or workpackages are not defined as projects. Those can be mentioned in the comment field of the related dataset(s) thus it might be found through a search query on the subproject term. Subproject information may also be defined as a reference and linked to the dataset(s) as further details.
