policy</h1> </div> <div class="m-article"> <p>Professional ethics within the archaeological community require that access to primary data should be free at the point of use. The ADS therefore imposes a charge for depositing data based on the ADS Depositor Charging Policy. The Depositor Charging Policy explains the charging methods and rates explicitly and openly so that those preparing project applications or tenders for work are able to understand and justify appropriate costs to cover digital archiving.</p> <h2>The central tenets of the ADS Depositor Charging Policy are:</h2> <ol> <li>ADS online resources will be freely accessible.</li> <li>A one-off payment collected at the time of deposit will be used to safeguard the long-term future of the digital data.</li> <li>Archiving should be seen as part of the project publication process and planned from outset and recovered from the funding body.</li> </ol> <h2>The ADS Depositor Charging Policy is based on five elements of work:</h2> <ul> <li>Management and Administration</li> <li>Ingest</li> <li>Curation</li> <li>Dissemination</li> <li>Storage and refreshment</li> </ul> <p>Charges are made on a ‘per file’ basis with charges varying depending on the complexity of the file. The first 150 images (e.g., jpg, tif) of ADS-easy submissions are included in the ‘Start Up’ fee. Typically, submissions through ADS-easy are disseminated using a ‘Standard’ interface with a cost included in the ‘Start Up’ fee. The ADS <a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/easy/costingCalculator.xhtml">costing calculator</a> can be used to calculate the approximate cost for depositing datasets through ADS-easy. For larger projects or those wishing to deposit data outside of these services <a href="/contact/">contact us</a> to obtain a full quotation. Those requiring <a href="/help-guidance/instructions-for-depositors/interfaces/">custom interfaces</a> or those submitting grant applicants are encouraged to contact us so that appropriate costing information can be provided.</p> <h2>Full Policy</h2> <table> <tbody> <tr> <th>Version</th> <th>Status</th> <th>Created Date</th> <th>Last Updated</th> <th>Review</th> <th>Availability</th> </tr> <tr> <td>7.0</td> <td>CURRENT</td> <td>30 September 2009</td> <td>01 April 2023</td> <td>April 2024</td> <td><a name="CGP6"></a><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2023/04/ChargingPolicy_V7_2023.pdf">Download</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>6.0</td> <td>PREVIOUS</td> <td>30 September 2009</td> <td>09 August 2021</td> <td>July 2022</td> <td><a name="CGP6"></a><a href="/app/uploads/2022/05/ChargingPolicy_V6_2021.pdf">Download</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>5.0</td> <td>PREVIOUS</td> <td>30 September 2009</td> <td>23 March 2020</td> <td>31 March 2021</td> <td><a name="CGP5"></a><a href="/app/uploads/2022/05/ChargingPolicy_v5_2020.pdf">Download</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><a name="RepOp"></a></p> </div> </div> </div> </main> <div class="m-newsletter"> <div> <h2>Sign up for the ADS newsletter</h2> </div> <div> <p>This quarterly e-newsletter will keep you up-to-date with all ADS's news and events.</p> <iframe data-w-token="dc0ca223c8244c1c3995" data-w-type="pop-in" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://037ty.mjt.lu/wgt/037ty/onh/form?c=5af88a23" width="100%"></iframe> <iframe data-w-token="dc0ca223c8244c1c3995" data-w-type="trigger" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://037ty.mjt.lu/wgt/037ty/onh/trigger?c=3de6f915" width="100%"></iframe> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://app.mailjet.com/pas-nc-pop-in-v1.js"></script> </div> </div> <div class="m-site-footer"> <div class="main-footer"> <div class="logos"> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-uoy.svg" style="width: 150px" </h3> </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://doi.org/10.17616/R3MW23" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-re3data-color.svg" style="width: 198px" </h3> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://doi.org/10.34894/GZFRVY" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-core-trust-seal-color.png" style="width: px" </h3> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.worlddatasystem.org/" <h3><img src="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/2022/06/logo-wds-color.jpg" style="width: px" </h3> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="social"> <h3>Follow us</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/archaeology.data.service/"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook"></i></a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/ADS_Update"><i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/archaeologydataservice/?hl=en"><i class="fa-brands fa-instagram"></i></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/archaeology-data-service/"><i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="footer-navigation"> <nav aria-label="Footer navigation"> <div class="menu-footer-navigation-container"><ul id="menu-footer-navigation" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-6820" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-6820"><a href="https://www.york.ac.uk/about/legal-statements/">University of York legal statements</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3156" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3156"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/terms-and-conditions/">Website terms and conditions</a></li> <li id="menu-item-5469" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-5469"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/cookie-policy/">Cookie policy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3157" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3157"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/privacy/">Privacy policy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3373" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3373"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/accessibility/">Accessibility</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3951" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3951"><a href="https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/contact/">Contact</a></li> </ul></div> </nav> <div class="legal"> © Archaeology Data Service 2024 </div> </div> </div>  <script> var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
