How to provide my private data to journal reviewers?

By using the GEA reviewer access, you can provide metadata, microarray data and NGS processed data to reviewers.

Reviewer access services are not available in DRA, DDBJ and JGA.

For DDBJ, see ‘On the process of submission of a paper to a journal, we have to show the referee our nucleotide sequence submitted as “Hold-Until-Published” status’.

For DRA, you may send a metadata summary list attached to the accession number notification e-mail. For sequencing data, download archived fastq files and provide them to reviewers through access-controlled file sharing services or servers.

For JGA, we can not offer the reviewer access service due to the policy.

For open-access GEA/DRA/DDBJ/MetaboBank, if you make your data public, all users including reviewers can access the data.
