Password

For some datasets, it might be requested by the author or project that the data should be password protected for a moratorium period. These are typically data from running scientific projects or related to manuscripts under review. If a dataset is password protected (access restricted) only the first author can access the data with his PANGAEA login. 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 for co-authors or anonymous reviewers.
