NEON has updated how users access NEON data and the data license for NEON data products. NEON data users are now required to create a user account and either sign in or use an API token to download NEON data. In addition, NEON data products have moved from a CC0 license to a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. These changes will help us ensure reliable data access for the NEON user community, clarify expectations for attribution, and improve our understanding of how these NSF-funded NEON data are used so we can better serve the community.
For more background on this change and details about implementation, see the prior data notification.
Questions or need help?
If you have additional questions about attribution, licensing, or technical implementation of the required tokens, please reach out through NEON’s Contact Us Form and include “Required Logins or CC BY License” in the text and we will be happy to assist.
