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).
Steps for registering an ESA data set
Step 1: Create an Account
Create an account by registering with the KNB. 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.
Step 2: Login
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.
Step 3: Register Data
Fill out the ESA Data Registry Form. A page titled "Success" will appear when the form has been successfully submitted.
Step 4: Look for Feedback
After you submit, watch for e-mail sent by the ESA moderator regarding whether your data set has been accepted
