description: Since 2016, ATLAS has published a total of 612 research outputs, and an additional 96 are currently in<br> preparation. They consist of peer‐reviewed scientific articles (15%), data sets (16%), data products<br> such as georeferenced maps (29%), and various “other” outputs (40%) that include project<br> deliverables, cruise reports, presentations and posters (Figure 1). The latter are available at Zenodo1,<br> whereas scientific articles were published in peer‐reviewed journals. A csv file listing of the current<br> peer‐reviewed articles is attached to the present report. The proportion of research outputs belonging<br> to these four types is consistent with the research life cycle of a scientific consortium, where ideas are<br> communicated and developed among peers through presentations and progress reports, leading to a<br> relatively smaller number of articles that contribute to the wider scientific community. Also consistent<br> with the life cycle of scientific knowledge, data sets and data products were published towards the<br> end of the project, leading to data re‐use and increased scientific impact beyond the life‐time of the<br> project. Together, data sets and products dominate the overall number of research outputs (45%). Data sets ‐ ATLAS published a total of 106 data sets since 2016, and an additional 10 are currently in<br> preparation. They were deposited in trusted archives and are currently available either in open access<br> (69%), restricted access (16%) while under review, or under embargo (7%) for a period of 1‐2 years<br> (Figure 2). In the present report, we characterised data sets according to their data type, main research<br> topic, parameters, methods, geographic region and access mode. Table 1 provides an overview of the<br> different data types and research topics addressed by ATLAS data sets. Observations relevant for the<br> study of biodiversity, biogeography, palaeoceanography and environmental conditions clearly<br> dominate the portfolio, followed by observations related to human activity. A number of modelling data sets were also published, particularly with regards to environmental conditions and paleoceanography. Data sets also<br> provide expert assessments about habitat conservation, as well as experimental work<br> on biological processes. Software code used to generate some data sets are also<br> included in this overview. The complete inventory of ATLAS data sets is provided in Section 2, including the publication year,<br> the name of the data repository and the URL pointing to each data set. The inventory is also available in a csv file<br> attached to the present report. Data products ‐ ATLAS published a total of 177 data products since 2016, and an additional 30 are<br> currently in preparation. They are available in open access on the ATLAS GeoNode2. In the present<br> report, we characterised data products according to their data type, main research topic, parameters,<br> methods, geographic region and format. Table 2 provides an overview of the different data types,<br> research topics and parameter types addressed by ATLAS data products. The portfolio is dominated<br> by dynamic maps (raster of vector) of modelled habitat suitability at basin‐scale, and by static maps<br> (images) of modelled deep‐sea benthic species larval dispersion and habitat connectivity at the scale<br> of ATLAS case studies. Environmental maps resulting from physical, biogeochemical and<br> geomorphological models also predominate. A number of maps based on geomorphological<br> observations and expert assessments of conservation status and human activity are also available in<br> various formats. The complete inventory of ATLAS data products is provided in Section 3, including<br> the publication year, the access mode, the URL of each data products on the ATLAS GeoNode, and<br> where applicable the URL pointing to the archive where the data product was published. The inventory<br> is also available in a csv file attached to the present report.
