Dryad is a nonprofit organization that provides long-term access to its contents at no cost to users. We are able to provide free access to data due to financial support from members and data submitters. Dryad's Data Publishing Charges (DPCs) are designed to recover the core costs of curating and preserving data.

We are sensitive to the fact that fees for individual researchers are a burden and create inequities. To better accommodate researchers who lack funds to pay the fee, Dryad will consider requests for a fee waiver prior to publication.

Prior to applying for a waiver, it is necessary for you to investigate and exhaust all available funding sources. These include funding from your institution, grant funding agencies, supporting or research foundations, and government agencies, or other sources of funds.

Note: Waivers will only be considered for data submissions less than 10GB in size (overage fees will apply for submissions exceeding this size). Requests made post-publication will not be considered.
