1.7. Conditions of Use

Unless otherwise noted, INTERMAGNET data are provided to users under a Creative Commons Attributions-NonCommercial 4.0 International Licence (CC BY-NC 4.0). Some institutes contributing data to INTERMAGNET may do so under different licence arrangments.

  • If data are required for commercial use, sale or bulk distribution you must obtain written permission directly from the institute operating the observatory. Check the INTERMAGNET web site (https://www.intermagnet.org/) for contact details and any specific institute licence conditions.

  • Any report or publication making use of INTERMAGNET data should acknowledge the relevant institutes as the source of data. The preferred method for acknowledgement is to cite the relevant Digital Object Identifier (DOI). DOIs are not yet available for some older data so INTERMAGNET provides two suggested forms of acknowledgement for those data, see Section 7.3.1.

  • We ask that either an electronic link to, or paper copy of, each report or publication is sent to those institutes whose data you use.

  • We also ask that a citation reference is sent to the INTERMAGNET Secretary secretary_intermagnet@gfz-potsdam.de.

Your email address, which you provide to INTERMAGNET when requesting data, may be given to the institute supplying the data so that it can monitor data usage.

By accessing data from INTERMAGNET you signify your acceptance of these terms and conditions. For commercial applications of observatory data, you must contact the operating institute directly.

INTERMAGNET accepts no liability in respect of loss, damage, injury or other occurrence arising from the provision of these data.
