[3dem] wwPDB Data Release Policy on Public Preprint Archives

[Justin Flatt]

The wwPDB releases entries under the following circumstances:

  	* upon author's request
  	* upon publication
  	* at the end of the hold period defined during submission (up to 1 
year) if no publication is available by that time

Contributions to public preprint archives that reference PDB, EMDB, or 
BMRB entry IDs are considered publications by the wwPDB and will 
therefore trigger release. For example, a PDB structure on hold for 
publication (status HPUB/HOLD) will be scheduled for release if the 
wwPDB finds a bioRxiv preprint with matching authors, title, and an 
entry ID code.

Publication dates and citation details are obtained through a 
combination of direct communications from authors, journals, and members 
of the scientific community (communicated via OneDep or 
deposit-help at mail.wwpdb.org) and PubMed searches (automated comparison 
of title and author lists included with the deposition and manual review 
for PDB, EMDB, and BMRB IDs).

Any concerns regarding this policy should be directed to the wwPDB 
leadership via deposit-help at mail.wwpdb.org.
