ATADD

ATADD contains national and international documents relating to Antarctic law and policy. It is based on documents collected by international lawyer, Bill Bush. Between 1982 and 2003, many of the documents were published by Oceana in: W M Bush, Antarctic and International Law: A Collection of Inter-State and National Documents. These eight volumes are a cornerstone of research into Antarctic law. They brought together otherwise dispersed documents and were supplemented by comprehensive cross-referencing and expert annotations that explain the documents’ significance and historical context.

By making the full collection accessible, ATADD is much greater in scope than the items published by Oceana. It includes documents from over 30 countries in several languages. There are currently over 4600 database entries, but the quantity of individual documents included far exceeds that number and there are over 75,000 scanned pages. ATADD complements existing Antarctic document sources which include the collections at the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat and the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, various national archives, and other research institutions. A grant by the Australian Research Council (ARC) made possible the digitisation of the collection under the ARC Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities funding scheme. The Bush volumes, long out of print, are included in ATADD by permission of Oxford University Press, USA.

Data Management Staff can upload their outputs through WARP. For most outputs, we will require the final author version as well as the final published version. You can also add a final author version to an existing record in WARP.The ARC and NHMRC each have policies stating that all resulting outputs acknowledge their funding must be publicly accessible. If an open access version cannot be made available, this must be justified in the final project report
Data Policy Your guide to making your research outputs FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable).
Data Sharing Principle It allows your research to be disseminated as broadly as possible users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, link, mine and otherwise use and reuse your research outputs. This increased exposure fosters higher view and citation rates and maximises the impact of your research.
