Starting March 2021, AGU authors funded by the U.S. NSF will have their data publication fees waived when using the Dryad repository. The fee is waived only when authors select an AGU journal. For AGU authors, a general data repository like Dryad is a great choice if a discipline-specific repository is not available for the type of data used in their research.

All datasets in Dryad are curated to meet data and metadata curation requirements. Datasets deposited in Dryad are mandate-compliant with U.S. NSF and AGU data publication requirements. For more information on using Dryad, please visit the Dryad data submission process page and any questions on submitting should be directed to [email protected].

AGU has partnered with Dryad on an NSF Grant (2025364) to pilot this program. Contact [email protected] with any questions about this pilot.
