In principle, the AWI research data guidelines apply to users of the marine biological stations Helgoland and Sylt. Users are made aware of the existing regulations in the web portal and undertake to submit scientific data generated during a guest stay at the marine stations.
For the use of data from the long-term data series Helgoland Roads and Sylt Roads, a data use agreement has been concluded. In future, the data will be made available exclusively via PANGAEA. For published data sets, this is the intended way anyway; for data that are subject to a moratorium, a one-time download link can be requested and activated after consultation with the author; the use is documented via the PANGAEA ticket system. Proof of use of the Marine Stations Helgoland and Sylt infrastructure must be provided for reports and publications. It is also planned to publish a description of the LK II infrastructure "Marine Stations Helgoland and Sylt" with its own DOI in the Journal of Large-Scale Research Infrastructures (JLSRF) which must also be included in publications and reports.
Users confirm this in the web portal with the following wording:
I hereby confirm that I will publish the data that I will collect during the research stay at the Marine Biological Station Helgoland/Sylt in the PANGAEA data portal no later than 2 years after the end of the research stay. I will ensure that the rights of third parties do not conflict with the publication. After the data have been imported into PANGAEA, they may be blocked for a further 2 years but will then be available to the scientific public as citable data sets.
Furthermore, please indicate the grant number assigned by the coordination for all publications based on these data.
