What happens to my data after 1 year if I do not have a license?
Your data will be locked after 1 year and inaccessible until you purchase a new license. However, you can delete this dataset if you wish.
What happens if I publish data on ScarfWeb during the dataset's 1-year free period?
All published datasets on ScarfWeb are published forever as they are put under a CC license. However, they will remain locked in your private ScarfWeb project for one year. Any modifications to the published datasets will go through our erratum process.
Will my public links and shared datasets keep working even after my datasets are locked?
Yes, your public links will still be active. However, you can disable them, even on the locked datasets.
I have a license but only used a part of my data quota. Will the rest of the datasets carry over to the next year?
Yes, you will accrue the unused quota for subsequent license renewals. However, if your renewals are interrupted, the accrued quota will not carry over when you choose to resume your annual subscription.
We have bought a license for our lab. Are the quotas implemented for each user separately, or does the whole lab share a quota?
When you purchase a license for your lab, the data quota is shared among all users within the lab. This means the total data quota allocated by the license can be utilized collectively by all lab members, rather than each user having a separate quota.
Does merging, extracting, moving, or copying count toward my dataset quota?
No. Only the files you upload count towards the data quota.
If I upload a hashtag multiplexed dataset and then demultiplex it on ScarfWeb to, for example, 10 datasets, how does that count towards my dataset quota?
We will count it as 1 file only. However, if you perform demultiplexing outside ScarfWeb, we will count the uploaded files.
What is the difference between creating public links and publishing data on CellHub?
CellHub: - You publish a whole project (including all datasets) to CellHub. - You are required to sign a CC license. - It is best to do this post-acceptance or when a pre-print is being deposited on Biorxiv. Public Links: - The link is specific to each dataset. If you have multiple datasets per project, each will have its own public link. - The links are available only to those people with whom you share the link. You can also use the links in your manuscripts/publications. However, these links will not be indexed in CellHub.
