Accounts are now automatically granted for submitters. You create a submission entry through a series of web forms with the submission manager, then submit this entry for consideration in the database. On submission, you will be granted an accession number which you ca quote and eventually use to access your data when the editor approves the submission into the database. The editor can browse all submissions at leisure, make any corrections if required, then approve the submission. Approved submissions pass directly into the editorial database.
Editors can use the submission manager in preference to the editorial tools.
This can be easier for large batches of related data. Not operational via the web, some knowledge of Unix required. The submission managers can be accessed via the URLs below, or from the link your species' database home page. Once you have made your submission entry, then submitted it for approval, you must wait for the editor to check it. Once the editor has approved it, your entry will go into the editorial database and surface in the public database the following week.
