PLEXdb - User Account Management

This must be completed before signing up for a PLEXdb account. The policy is designed to protect and inform you of your rights within the PLEXdb service.

PLEXdb is committed to making data from plant, plant pathogen and symbiont GeneChips publicly available to researchers world-wide. The default assumption is that all submissions to PLEXdb are public unless you advise us otherwise during the submission process. Data submissions can be designated as private to the submitter or a group of collaborators for a period of 6 months. This means that only a user with the proper password can access the data. At the end of the 6 month period, the submitter will be contacted to see if the data can be released or if       an additional 6 months is needed due to publication or manuscript preparation delays. If approval has not been given within two years, data will be archived pending approval for release or deleted from PLEXdb.
	
In accordance with journal policies, upon publication of the manuscript, the data will be considered public.
	
The submission will be checked for structure and content during curation and only PLEXdb curators have access to the submission during this time. Submissions will be prioritized in the following order:  
	
1. Submissions that are to be made public immediately regardless of publication status. 
2. Submissions that require database accession information in page proof. 
3. Private submissions that are related to a paper that has not yet been 
accepted. 
4. Private submissions that are related to a paper that has not been submitted. 
  
Data will not be added to the database until a submission is complete and has been examined by a data curator. If we need to contact you about your submission, please respond as quickly as possible so that there will be no delays in making your data available on PLEXdb. The estimated release time is seven days to make a submitted dataset available for access on the PLEXdb database.
