FAIRsharing query: TreeBase homepage requires login?

[allysonlister]

Thanks for answering my questions in the past (#276), I have another one today please.

In updating your record with us at FAIRsharing (https://doi.org/10.25504/FAIRsharing.zcn4w4), we have noticed that all treebase.org URLs require a login to continue. Has the access policy changed for this resource? If necessary, we can mark the status of treebase as either Uncertain or Deprecated.

Thanks very much,
Allyson

Hi!

TreeBASE is temporarily offline except to provide access to the editor/curator. This is because the code base needed security updates before our host was willing to open it up again. The website will be reactivated soon.

Best wishes,

Rutger

Thank you - I will add an message to that effect to your record.

In the meantime, I would strongly urge you to consider claiming this record with us so that you can make any similar updates to the record description and status once the resource is back available publicly. For details on creating an account with us and claiming your record, please visit https://fairsharing.gitbook.io/fairsharing/

Claiming a record as either a group or an individual gives you the opportunity to make changes to the record yourself, allowing you complete control over how your resource is displayed in FAIRsharing. Maintainers are also notified if our curation team edits the record, if users ask questions, or if the record is linked from another record, such as from a journal publisher data policy. In addition, if you claim a record(s) as an individual, you can link the record to your ORCID.

FAIRsharing is about making your resource discoverable to a variety of users, such as journals and publishers, researchers and service providers, research and infrastructure projects and programmes, as well as curators, librarians, funders and other policy makers and data scientists. A contact is essential should they have any questions about your resource.

Thank you and best wishes,
Allyson

This is just a final comment to suggest that you claim your TreeBASE record with us for the reasons stated above. We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Thanks!
