• To respect the rights of the data producers and contributors to analyze and publish the first global analyses and certain other reserved analyses of this data set in a peer-reviewed publication. I understand that this includes:

  • Any other analyses that may limit the opportunity for the IWGSC data producers and contributors to publish the first global analysis.

• To not redistribute, release, or otherwise provide access to the data to anyone outside of my group, until the data has been published, submitted to the public data repositories, or, if not published, for one year from the conclusion of the individual project or initiative as displayed on the IWGSC website.
• To Contact the IWGSC and data producers to discuss any publication plans that utilize this data to avoid the overlap of any planned analyses.
• To cite accurately and completely the prepublication data, including any applicable version.
• Prior to publication of the reserved analyses, to credit “The International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium” and the leader, if any, of the relevant chromosome.
