1. How to search for private data
When a pre-/un-published experiment or array design is loaded into ArrayExpress, the submitter is sent details of login accounts for themselves, and for journal editors and reviewers so that they can view the data before it is publicly available.
If you have such a login account, simply use the "Login" link at the right hand side of the top menu bar:
A pop up box will appear for you to enter the username and password you have been sent:
If the 'Remember me' box is checked, the login details will be remembered by your web browser, even if you close the browser and shut down your computer.
Once you've logged in, search for the experiment you would like to view by entering its accession number in the search box and click "Search"
2. Forgotten passwords and reviewers with no password
Submitters: If you're trying to view a private, curated experiment that you submitted to ArrayExpress, but have forgotten your ArrayExpress data access account login and/or password, use the "Forgot user name or password?" link on the login box:
(Note: This is the account for viewing curated data only, and not for submitting new experiments to us.)
A new form would appear where you'll fill in the email address you used for the experiment submission, and the experiment's accession number:
Reviewers: If you are a reviewer and have not been provided with an ArrayExpress login to access private data connected to a publication, please contact the data submitter, via the journal, to request this information. We cannot provide access to private data without first getting authorization from the submitter or journal.
