Description
The Arctic Data Center is the primary data and software repository for the Arctic section of NSF Polar Programs. The Center helps the research community to reproducibly preserve and discover all products of NSF-funded research in the Arctic, including data, metadata, software, documents, and provenance that links these together. The repository is open to contributions from NSF Arctic investigators, and data are released under an open license (CC-BY, CC0, depending on the choice of the contributor). All science, engineering, and education research supported by the NSF Arctic research program are included, such as Natural Sciences (Geoscience, Earth Science, Oceanography, Ecology, Atmospheric Science, Biology, etc.) and Social Sciences (Archeology, Anthropology, Social Science, etc.). Key to the initiative is the partnership between NCEAS at UC Santa Barbara, DataONE, and NOAA’s NCEI, each of which bring critical capabilities to the Center. Infrastructure from the successful NSF-sponsored DataONE federation of data repositories enables data replication to NCEI, providing both offsite and institutional diversity that are critical to long term preservation.

Remarks

Remarks
NSF Arctic Data Center is covered by Clarivate Data Citation Index . The NSF Arctic Data Center will support this community with the release of a user-friendly, data-sharing platform built on an open-source search application developed at NCEAS, and used by multiple repositories and networks, including the KNB Data Repository, DataONE, and the Gulf of Alaska Data Portal. Data and metadata from ACADIS, the current platform supporting NSF Arctic research data, are currently being ingested into the NSF Arctic Data Center NSF Arctic Data Center was CTS certified until 2023-03-27.
