right now, or even before submitting it to a journal. Many journals don’t mind. <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I’ve never done this yet, but</span> I’ve thought hard about it. I saw a biorxiv reference in another paper just the other day.

<div>dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
</div>
i would be interested in experiences / suggestions / views of others in the field on the following issue that may be of interest to many of us:<br>
</div>
the editor of our manuscript forwarded the request of a peer-reviewer to access the cryo-em map of our beloved complex. this has never happened to us, but to our surprise the editor did not consider the request to be unusual.<br>
of course, we share the point that the map would be of great help in judging the interpretation of the data. however, we also feel very uncomfortable sending the condensed result of lengthy research to an anonymous colleague, who could theoretically make considerable
misuse of it. nevertheless, the policy of the journal seems to let us little choice: "<font size="2">Supporting data must be made available to editors and peer</font><font size="2">-</font><font size="2">reviewers at the time of</font><font size="2"> submission
for the purposes of evaluating the manuscript.</font><font size="2"> Peer</font><font size="2">-</font><font size="2">reviewers</font><font size="2"> may be asked</font><font size="2"> to comment on the terms of access to materials, methods and/or data sets</font><font size="2">"</font>.<br>
</div>
in any case we would be curious whether others indeed got similar requests and how they dealt with it. a good solution for (paranoid?) people like us could be a good web-based viewer that lets others view our map, but i would not know of such a tool.<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks <br>
<br>
