Submit Data to PANGAEA

Welcome to the PANGAEA data submission system. We highly appreciate that you want to archive and publish your data with PANGAEA. PANGAEA accepts data from a wide range of disciplines from earth and life sciences.

However, please make sure to check out our guidelines and documentation before you submit. In the following section you find a set of options where to begin.

When you start the data submission process, you will be redirected to the PANGAEA issue tracker that will assist you in providing metadata and uploading data files. Any communication with our editors will go through this issue tracker. For more details about the submission workflow see our tutorial.

Attention

Please note: All data and metadata are quality checked, harmonized, and processed for machine readability, which allows efficient and reliable re-usage of your data. Depending on the extent and complexity of your data submission the editorial process and minting of DOI names for submission not affiliated to our hosts, project partners and partners (front-offices) might therefore take up to several months. If you want to know more on how to become a front-office partner please contact us. Due to the high volume of submissions, it is unfortunately not possible to answer questions about the current processing status.

Benefits and Details

Tutorial

Submitting data to PANGAEA is rather easy, all you need is your data, some additional information called metadata, and the willingness to open up your data to the world. PANGAEA is a fully curated data repository, so once you take the initial step by uploading your data, experienced data curators are going to help you personally through the further submission process. If you publish and long term archive your data with PANGAEA, they will become findable, accessible, inter-operable and reusable following the FAIR principles.
