What happens after submission
If you submit to ArrayExpress in BioStudies, you will usually receive an automatically generated accession number (e.g. E-MTAB-3533) within 24 hours of submission, which can be quoted in your manuscript. Note that this doesn’t mean that the submission is finished!
A curator will then check through your submission to make sure that all of the necessary data is there and that it is properly annotated. Curators will email you if they have any questions, and may re-open the submission for further editing/corrections.
Once fully curated, the experiment will be loaded into ArrayExpress and the curators will send you an email to confirm that the submission is finished. It stays private until you decide to release it or the accession number is cited in a publication. You can change the public release date of the experiment at any time to match the peer review progress of your paper. You can add or edit publication details too.
Once the data is public it can be viewed in the ArrayExpress section of the BioStudies website (no login or password required), downloaded and may be selected for inclusion in the Expression Atlas.
