Make Public

Any time after a dataset is submitted, the submitter can choose to make it public by clicking the "Make Public" link near the top of the dataset page.

When this happens, the dataset is affected in the following ways:

• It appears in public dataset searches on the MassIVE web site.
• The dataset's private password is removed, and the dataset becomes available to download via anonymous (public) FTP.
• If the submitter checked the "Submit to ProteomeXchange" checkbox, then a ProteomeXchange announcement message is submitted, and the dataset will appear in the list of public datasets at ProteomeCentral.

NOTE: MassIVE will make a dataset public on the submitter's behalf if a paper is published that includes the dataset accession and a member of the community requests that the specific accession be made public.
