This page is for the legacy version of the submission protocols. For the current version, click here. For a supplemental walkthrough, click here.
It is highly recommended you follow the most current format outlined in the above links, as it allows for more information to be included and is the best supported.

The title for the dataset would go here. Most people have this be the title of the article the data belongs to, but it can be anything. We can do _subscript and ^superscript formats and can include many special characters. Please include a "title.txt" document with the title pre-formatted in html format for automated creation of the webpage. We will add "Dataset: " to the start of the title.

The list of authors would go here. This list will be pulled from the "authors.txt" file you will also submit. Please format it as a single line of text with no newline characters. The direct text will be pulled and reused for this section, so if you want to include affiliations please make sure it is in HTML format.

The dataset description would go here. Please do not reuse the abstract from the paper because this description should be for the specific dataset itself. It will be pulled from "description.txt" and can be formatted using HTML formatting, which is broadly used, so any questions are likely answered by a quick internet search.

We allow you to pick what the headers and item names in the table will be by following a set format:
1. The 3 column span names will be the names of each folder you submit. In this example the folders are named "Folder 1" and "Folder 2" but you can use this to separate files by figure, data type, etc.
2. Any subfolders present will be zipped and labeled as a zipped folder. You can pre-zip the subfolders if you want.
3. Include a file in EACH folder named "names.txt" which needs to follow a set format outlined later. Examples are also included below.

Format of the names file "names.txt":
1. Each item should be on its own line with the following format as a comma separated list: item description, item-name.extension
2. Please include subfolders in the "names.txt" file, as they will be zipped and treated as files (you shouldn't include the .zip part in the file unless you upload them zipped). If you want to pre-zip subfolders, that will make the data transfers and webpage creation go faster, but remember to remove the ".zip" from them in the names file.
3. The item names should be in html format which supports superscript, subscript, and special characters. If you aren't sure how to do this, <--sup--> (without the dashes) goes before the superscript text with <--/sup--> (also without the dashes) going after the superscript text, subscripts are the same, but replace "sup" with "sub". Special characters can be looked up online by typing "html [character name]". You only need to do this formatting if you want a name to be formatted a specific way in the table.
4. Do not include a comma or a period in the first column.

Failure to follow this format for your data may result in a delay in the data being available, incorrect labeling and assignment of data, or may require it to be manually entered in.
