EMDB Release Policy Poll

We have created a short online poll to collect your opinions about a possible change to EMDB data release policy.

Should complete experimental metadata associated with EMDB map entries continue to be available/searchable prior to map release? Currently, all experimental metadata is released to the public immediately after curation of an entry, even when a hold is requested for the map, which can be up to 1 year. If release of this metadata were withheld, only basic summary information (entry id, deposition date, author list, map dimensions and fitted models) would be made publicly available immediately after curation.

Please send us your feedback about this proposed policy change by filling out our short poll. We are grateful for your response by November 4.
