To foster transparent and accessible data sharing culture, in accordance with the Toronto Agreement, all data deposited on TropgeneDB are made public immediately. Data producers can provide information on the data they deposit, including planned analyses and publication timeline information, to indicate their publication intentions. Data users are expected to respect scientific etiquette and allow data producers the first global analyses of their data set, and should be aware that pre-publication data may not have been subject to full quality control and peer review, so caution must be applied when utilizing these data.
