A primary goal for MOSAiC is to advance research into the Arctic climate system, and that research will be documented via scientific publications. It is essential to establish a clear and transparent publication process that is consistent with the MOSAiC Data Policy Policy and encourages broad participation. To enable this process, this document outlines the expected pathway for developing MOSAiC publications as well as providing information on a MOSAiC Special Feature in the journal Elementa where MOSAiC submissions are encouraged.

• Inform your team coordinator so they have an overview of team activities, can support cooperation and collaboration, and can help ensure that your manuscript follows expected protocols.
• Data Use. Ensure that data use is consistent with the MOSAiC Data Policy, including interacting directly with the official data provider / PI for any data used.
• Consider details of authorship and/or acknowledgement consistent with the MOSAiC Data Policy (Section 9). An inclusive authorship approach is encouraged. Broadly accepted authorship standards are documented at: http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html. Team leaders can help resolve authorship issues that arise.
• Data Archival. Consider details of data submission, archival, and DOIs. Before a manuscript can be published, most journals require that the data used must itself be published in a public data repository and have a specific DOI. MOSAiC encourages this public release and documentation of data to support proper data acknowledgement and citation. This process can take up to 8 weeks, so plan accordingly (see Data Publishing below).
• Two weeks prior to submission, send the manuscript to anja.sommerfeld@awi.de. The MOSAiC Project Board will perform a formal check to ensure adherence to the MOSAiC Data Policy, including authorship, citation of research platforms, and correct acknowledgement. They will NOT evaluate the manuscripts scientific content. You will be informed of any concerns.
