GO Canada Rules for Data Use

The terms for distribution and use of the GO data govern both the production and distribution of scientific datasets by GO projects, as well as use of the GO data by the science community and general public. These terms are summarized below:

  • The data are open to all scientists and the public (Users).
  • Users shall acknowledge the source of the data. The required acknowledgement shall be provided on the relevant data landing page.
  • Users shall cite the data when writing articles that make use of the data and that are intended for submission to a peer-reviewed publication. The required citation shall be provided on the relevant data landing page.
  • Users are encouraged to provide the relevant GO project PI(s) with copies of their manuscripts upon their submission for consideration of publication. On publication the citation should be transmitted to the GO project PI and any other providers of data.
  • Users are encouraged to make tools of general utility and/or value-added data products widely available to the community. Users are encouraged to collaborate with the relevant GO project PI(s) and to notify the CSA of such utilities or products.

These terms are subject to change as the policies of the CSA and its partners change. A copy of the CSA data use policy can be found here: GO Data Policy (PDF).
