MGDS is covered by Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index. is covered by Elsevier. The Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS), part of the Interdisciplinary Earth Data Alliance (IEDA) facility, provides access to data portals for the NSF-supported Ridge 2000, MARGINS, and GeoPRISMS programs, the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Data Synthesis, the Global Multi-Resolution Topography Synthesis, and Seismic Reflection Field Data Portal. These portals were developed and are maintained as a single integrated system, providing free public access to a wide variety of primarily marine geoscience data collected during expeditions throughout the global oceans. In addition to these Data Portals, MGDS also hosts the US Antarctic Program Data Coordination Center (USAP-DCC) which provides tools to help scientists find Antarctic data of interest and satisfy their obligation to share data under the NSF Office of Polar Programs (OPP) data policy.
