Terms and Conditions for Use of Core Samples
Policies for handling data and samples
Please visit the following websites to understand JAMSTEC basic policies and procedures related to data, sample, and personal information management:
Request for yet-closed samples
Core samples are generally subject to moratorium periods of up to 2 years for JAMSTEC cruises, and 5 years for Cooperative Research Cruises. Even after the expiration of the moratorium periods, accesses to some samples may be resricted due to individual arrangements making them classfied. If you further wish to request these "closed" samples, please contact the curator and describe your plan.
Non-scientific, non-educational uses of JAMSTEC core samples and rights for intellectual properties
In principle, JAMSTEC provides core samples for scientific/educational uses for free of charge, however users are liable for sample handling costs. For other uses, JAMSTEC and requesters may require to create appropriate contracts. Provided data and samples may involve intellectual property rights. If you are planning to request data and samples for industrial/commercial uses or if you are going to claim the rights for intellectual properties, please consult with the curator in advance.
