- Beginning no later than 6-months after instrument commissioning, MMS instrument teams will generate definitive, scientifically useful data products and deliver to the SOC within 30 days of downlink from each spacecraft.
- All scientifically useful MMS-SMART data products are open to all scientists and the public (Users) at the MMS SOC.
- There are no proprietary periods associated with any of the MMS-SMART data products.
- Users shall have timely access to the scientifically useful data and analysis tools that are equivalent to the level available to that the MMS-SMART science working team uses.
- Users should use QuickLook data plots for event browsing, and not for scientific analysis or publication, without express consent of the relevant Lead Co-Investigator.
- Users should contact the MMS-SMART Principal Investigator (PI) and the relevant lead co-investigators of the instrument or modeling group early in an analysis project to consult on the appropriate use of instrument data or model results.
- Users who wish to publish results derived from MMS data should directly involve the MMS-SMART PI and/or Instrument Leads and team members as appropriate in the analysis and to offer co-authorship. Such coCo-authorship may be declined.
- Users should heed the caveats of investigators as to the interpretation and limitations of data or model results. All important caveats should be included in the publication, even if co-authorship is declined. Data and model version numbers should also be specified, to assure that the MMS SWT will stand behind any published uses of the data in refereed literature.
- Users should acknowledge the sources of data used in all publications, presentations, and reports. Appropriate acknowledgement to institutions, personnel, and funding agencies should be given.
- Users should provide the MMS-SMART PI and/or instrument PIs Lead CoIs a copy of each manuscript that uses MMS-SMART data upon submission of that manuscript for consideration of publication, and upon . Upon publication, to transmit the citation should be transmitted to the PI and any other providers of data.
- Users should widely distribute, to interested parties, their conference abstracts, presentations, and publication pre-printspublications.
- Users should make tools of general utility and/or value-added data products widely available to the community, and to notify the MMS-SMART PI of such utilities or products, having clearly labeled the product as to its originbeing different from an original MMS-SMART produced data product.
