The EarthChem Library is a data repository that archives, publishes and makes accessible data and other digital content from geoscience research (analytical data, data syntheses, models, technical reports, etc).

Access

Access to the EarthChem Library is open and free but you may not circulate or publish materials obtained from this site unless you adhere to the licensing requirements as stipulated by the provider of the dataset(s).

Long-Term Archive

The EarthChem Library guarantees long-term availability of its content through collaboration with the Columbia University Libraries Digital Program.

Data Registration with DOI

Datasets in the Library can be identified, shared, published and cited by using a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The EarthChem Library is part of IEDA, a publication agent with the DataCite consortium. Learn more about how to cite EarthChem data.

Data Submission

The EarthChem Library offers online data submission. If you want to submit data to the Library, please view our video tutorials on YouTube or check the EarthChem Library Submission Guidelines. Access to submitted datasets can be restricted for a period of up to 2 years.

NSF Investigator Support

Datasets submitted to the EarthChem Library can be linked to NSF award numbers upon submission. Investigators can use the IEDA Data Compliance Report tool to prepare reports about submitted datasets to demonstrate compliance with NSF Data Policies.
