EMDB Map Hold/Release Policy

• EMDataResource strongly encourages depositors to make their data publicly available as soon as possible and not to put their data on hold.
• Maps may be held (before release) no longer than one year from the deposition date.
• Map Header XML files are released immediately after curation (view an example header file).
• Hold requests must be submitted at the time of the initial deposition.
• Maps derived from data generated by other research groups (e.g. EMPIAR data) may be deposited but will not be processed or released until an associated peer-reviewed publication becomes available.
