# Expectations

## What we expect of data contributors
- Dataset - Format doesn't matter so much (.csv, .xls, .rda, .netcdf, etc)
  - metadata/methods - for technical documentation
  - participation in meetings relevant to your data and edits on that section of the final documents. 
  
  
## What data contributors can expect from us
- Credit for your work
 - Acknowledgments in SOEs
 - Authorship in Technical Documentation in NOAA Institutional Repository
- Venue for presenting information to Councils/SSCs
- Lots of emails :(
