Requesting admission to the Zenodo IODP Community

An archive of programmatic data and publications is maintained by the International Ocean Discovery Program on Zenodo within the IODP Community. External researchers may request their publications and datasets related to scientific ocean drilling, particularly using samples or data from IODP or its predecessor programs (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), or Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP)) to be added to our community. We require your records to be uploaded to your own account, include a clearly formatted title and description, funding sources (if used), and references to IODP related works (if used). Adding your record to the IODP Community gives our account edit privileges over the metadata and content of your record, though it is not our practice to maintain the work of external researchers. You may revoke our access to your records by removing it from the IODP Community.
