General Information-Policy regarding data access

Occasionally, you will not be able to recover certain data files. If this happens, the number of data files included in the ZIP file that you downloaded will be lower than the number of files returned by the query that you submitted. Most data archived in the system have “public” access while a certain number have “restricted” access.

According to the department's management policy for scientific data (ajoute lien?), scientists who collect data within a research project have exclusive use of that data for a period of at least two years from when the data are available in the system. Thus, data having restricted access will eventually be made public.
