Password

For some datasets, the author or projects request a password protection for a moratorium period. This is typically the case if the dataset belongs to an on-going scientific project or if is related to a manuscript under review. If a dataset is password protected (access restricted), only those authors of the dataset with a PANGAEA login can access the data. Metadata are always public.

A temporary access link with an expiry date can be granted on request of the author. Such a link can be used to share the data with individuals or groups, for example co-authors or anonymous reviewers.
