Data Repository Policies

  • Anyone can register for a user account and download data from MSD-LIVE.

  • To upload new data, you must be associated with one or more MSD Projects. Please see the Quick Start page for instructions. Requests to join a project will be reviewed and approved by project administrators.

  • Any data uploaded to MSD-LIVE should be directly funded by and relevant to an MSD project. To affirm relevance and support of the project, all new datasets will be reviewed by one or more curators for each project. If the dataset is associated with more than one project, then the user can select which project does the review during the upload process.

  • No data uploaded to MSD-LIVE will include protected personally identifiable (PPI) information (e.g., Social Security numbers, financial, or heath data).

  • No data uploaded to MSD-LIVE will include information subject to U.S. export control regulations (e.g., encryption technology, defense-related data, or other technical information restricted from foreign access).

  • Under certain conditions, published datasets can be removed from MSD-LIVE. If you published data in MSD-LIVE and need it to be removed, please contact info@msdlive.org with the name of the dataset and the justification. If the dataset was assigned a DOI, then we will retain the DOI and URL of the original object but will replace the content on the dataset landing page with a tombstone page explaining that the dataset has been removed and explaining why. Removing data should be considered an extraordinary action.
