The Non-Pollen Palynomorphs Image Database (NPP-ID) is designed to gather and share information about the NPP types in order to structure them and provide help by identification.
The following data access policy is designed to register the NPP Project Group Members and to cover data contributed to the NPP-ID.
We assume all contributors and users have read and understand the data access policy.
1. The aim of the NPP-ID is to provide a platform for sharing information on NPP types (description, microphotographs/drawings, ecological and palaeoecological information, location of records) for research and educational purposes within the science and education communities.
2. Open access content of the NPP-ID provides original descriptions of the NPP types with a reference, open access microphotographs/drawings and locations of NPP records. All data available through the open access of the NPP-ID are free to use for non-commercial purposes under CC BY-NC-ND (see Creative Commons license at
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
3. The NPP-ID is operating as a community-curated Project and requires a registration in order to become an NPP Project Group Member.
4. NPP Project Group Members may use NPP-ID content for scientific and educational purposes. Re-publishing is prohibited.
5. NPP Project Group Members may contribute to the open access of the NPP database by submitting own original microphotographs/drawings of the NPP type. All rights on the submitted microphotographs/drawings belong to the Contributor. The contributor guarantees that the submitted material and all intellectual property rights therein are owned by or licensed to the contributor and that the submitted material does not infringe any intellectual property rights of any natural or legal person. Contributors to the NPP-ID are co-authors of the updated version of the database.
6. After evaluation of the submitted microphotographs/drawings by a Steering Committee, they will appear for open access.
7. Only NPP types published in scientific journals are included in the database.
8. Normal ethics apply to referring of scientific publications and co-authorship.
In all cases, any use of the NPP-ID data should include references to the last papers on the NPP-ID:
