    This tool allows you to search the registry for data 

      click on the "Search" button, the search will only be conducted within the title, author, abstract, and keyword fields. Checking the "Search All Fields" box will search on these and all other existing fields (this search will take more time). Checking the "Search Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity" box will allow you to search the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) in addition to the ESA Data Registry. The KNB is an international data repository dedicated to facilitating ecological and environmental research. Click <a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/"> here </a> for more information on the KNB. <br>

      <br>

You can use the '%' character as a wildcard in your searches (e.g., '%biodiversity%' would locate any phrase with the word biodiversity embedded within it).</td>

      <p> The ESA Data Registry form is for registering data sets associated with articles published in the journals of the Ecological Society of America. Other Ecological data sets can be registered with the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB). </p>

      <p><strong>Steps for registering an ESA data set</strong> </p>

      <p><span class="greenbold">Step 1: Create an Account</span> <br>

  Create an account by registering with the <a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org">KNB</a>. Many scientists will already have accounts in the KNB, especially those from institutions like NCEAS and LTER. If you already have an account please use that existing account rather than creating a new one.</p>

      <p><span class="greenbold">Step 2: Login</span><br>

  Login to the ESA Registry website with the account you created. Fill out the ESA Data Registry Form. A page titled "Success" will appear when the form has been successfully submitted.</p>

      <p><span class="greenbold">Step 3: Register Data</span><br>

  Fill out the <a href="http://data.esa.org/cgi-bin/register-dataset.cgi?cfg=esa">ESA Data Registry Form</a>. A page titled "Success" will appear when the form has been successfully submitted. </p>

      <p> <span class="greenbold">Step 4: Look for Feedback</span> <br>

  After you submit, watch for e-mail sent by the ESA moderator&nbsp; regarding whether your data set has been accepted </p>
